Error in Code, going to white screen and not redirecting

[snowdog]

Keep going over this and can't find the stupid error. Need some fresh eyes for some help. Thanks

 

<?php

ob_start();
session_start();
include("include/db_connect.php");



// Define $username and $password 

$username = $_REQUEST['username']; 
$password = $_REQUEST['password'];



// To protect MySQL injection
$username = stripslashes($username);
$password = stripslashes($password);
$username = mysql_real_escape_string($username);
$password = mysql_real_escape_string($password);

$sql="SELECT * FROM login WHERE username = '$username' AND password = '$password'";
$result=mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result); 


// Mysql_num_row is counting table row

    $count=mysql_num_rows($result);

// If result matched, table row must be 1 row

if($count!=0)
{
	// Register session variables and redirect to file "dashboard.php"

	  
	$_SESSION['id'] = $row['id'];
	$_SESSION['franchise_id'] = $row['franchise_id'];
	$_SESSION['dealer_id'] = $row['dealer_id]';
	$_SESSION['first'] = $row['first'];
	$_SESSION['last'] = $row['last'];

	header("location:dashboard.php");
}
else
{
	header("location:not_logged_in.php");
}

ob_end_flush();

?>

You have a fatal php parse error on line 41. You need to have php's error_reporting set to E_ALL and display_errors set to ON in your master php.ini so that php will report and display all the errors it detects. You will save a TON of time.

 

I didn't mention what the error message is or what is causing it (it is actually fairly obvious to find when you know the general area in the code to start looking), because learning to find and fix errors in programming is as important a skill to have as being able to write code.

Thanks, They told me at the server compaby that they had turned on errors and it was not. I have changed it and now the error stands out like a our thumb!! Single quote outside the bracket ! Duh
