Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/webspace/public_html/Eri

[erikn68]

I am getting the error when I try to login.  Here is my login.php code

 

error message:  Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/webspace/public_html/Eri

 

 

$dbhost = "localhost";

$dbname = "webspace_eriknel1";

$dbuser = "webspace_er5";

$dbpass = "c6b7s9t1";

 

//Connect to database

 

<?php

mysql_connect ( $dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass)or die("Could not connect: ".mysql_error());

mysql_select_db($dbname) or die(mysql_error());

 

session_start();

 

$username = $_POST[‘username’];

$password = md5($_POST[‘password’]);

 

$query = select from users where username=’$username’ and password=’$password’”;

 

$result = mysql_query($query);

 

if (mysql_num_rows($result) != 1) {

$error = “Bad Login”;

    include “login.html”;

 

} else {

    $_SESSION[‘username’] = “$username”;

    include “memberspage.php”;

}

 

?>

session_start();

needs to go at the very top of your page, just after the <?php line.

$query = select from users where username=’$username’ and password=’$password’”;

has no opening double quote so your sting is totaly malformed and running into the rest of your code.

$dbpass = "c6b7s9t1";

Needs to be changed NOW!

[scootstah]

$dbpass = "";

Needs to be changed NOW!

 

You should probably remove it from your quote too.

 

EDIT: Derp, brainfart. Thought you meant changed from his post, but I suppose he ought to change it on his server.

I ment in the actual database, there were at least 8 views of this page prior to my posting and too much time has gone by for me to edit now  :-\

I am getting the same error but it is with this line.

 

$query = "select" from users where username=’$username’ and password=’$password’”;

[scootstah]

Should be

$query = "select * from users where username=’$username’ and password=’$password’”;

Another error

 

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/webspace/public_html/Erik.Nelson/login.php on line 32

 

This is line 32    ?>

 

All of the code, but I removed the db password for the forum

 

$dbhost = "localhost";

$dbname = "webspace_eriknel1";

$dbuser = "webspace_er5";

$dbpass = "";

 

//Connect to database

 

<?php

 

session_start();

 

mysql_connect ( $dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass)or die("Could not connect: ".mysql_error());

mysql_select_db($dbname) or die(mysql_error());

 

 

 

$username = $_POST[‘username’];

$password = md5($_POST[‘password’]);

 

$query = "select * from users where username=’$username’ and password=’$password’”;

 

$result = mysql_query($query);

 

if (mysql_num_rows($result) != 1) {

$error = “Bad Login”;

    include “login.html”;

 

} else {

    $_SESSION[‘username’] = “$username”;

    include “memberspage.php”;

}

?>

[mikosiko]

@OP: Seems that you are using several smart-quotes and apostrophes instead of regular double or single quotes in your code

 

$username = $_POST[‘username’];

$password = md5($_POST[‘password’]);

 

$query = "select * from users where username=’$username’ and password=’$password’”;

 

$result = mysql_query($query);

 

if (mysql_num_rows($result) != 1) {

$error = “Bad Login”;

    include “login.html”;

 

} else {

    $_SESSION[‘username’] = “$username”;

    include “memberspage.php”;

As mikosiko pointed out, you need to change all those wonky double quotes and apostrophes to real double quotes and single quotes.

 

Also, the error reporting stuff should be at the very top of your script.

 

EDIT: And unless you are running PHP5.4, that should be

error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT);

I am getting error on this code:

 

$error = "Bad Login";

    include "login.html";

 

I switched the quotes and apostrophes

 

 

[mikosiko]

and the error is?.... crystal ball is not available today.

 

to short this out a bit... here .... just copy/paste..... and answer/fix the commented questions

 

<?php
    error_reporting(E_ALL); 
    ini_set("display_errors", 1);


    session_start();
    
    $dbhost = "localhost";
    $dbname = "webspace_eriknel1";
    $dbuser = "webspace_er5";
    $dbpass = "";
    
    mysql_connect ( $dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass)or die("Could not connect: ".mysql_error());
    mysql_select_db($dbname) or die(mysql_error());

    // you MUST sanitize your input    
    $username = $_POST['username'];
    $password = md5($_POST['password']);
    
    $query = "select * from users where username='$username' and password='$password'";
    
    $result = mysql_query($query);
    
    if (mysql_num_rows($result) != 1) {
        $error = "Bad Login";
        
        // What are yuu trying to do here... redirect to the user to the login page?
        // For that you must use header() not include()
        include "login.html";
    
    } else {
        $_SESSION['username'] = "$username";

        // What are yuu trying to do here... redirect to the user to the members page?
        // For that you must use header() not include()
        include "memberspage.php";
    }
