Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING

fantity · September 14, 2012

Why am I getting this error?

<?php
$connect = mysql_connect("","","");
if (!$connect)
{
die("MySQL could not connect!");
}

$DB = mysql_select_db('');

if(!$DB)
{
die("My SQL could not select Database!");
}

//STEP 2 Declare Variables

$Username = $_POST['username'];
$Email = $_POST['email'];
$Email1 = "@";
$Email_Check = strpos($Email,$Email1);
$Password = $_POST['password'];
$Re_Password = $_POST['re-password'];
$Birth = $_POST['birth'];

//STEP 3 Check To See If All Information Is Correct

if($Username == "")
{
die("Opps! You don't enter a username!");
}

if($Password == "" || $Re_Password == "")
{
die("Opps! You didn't enter one of your passwords!");
}

if($Birth == "")
{
die("Opps! You never entered in your birth year!");
}

if($Password != $Re_Password)
{
die("Ouch! Your passwords don't match! Try again.");
}

if($Email_Check === false)
{
die("Opps! That's not an email!");
}

//STEP 4 Insert Information Into MySQL Database

if(!mysql_query("INSERT INTO Users (email, username, password, birth)
VALUES ('$Email', '$Username', '$Password', '$Birth')"))
{
die("We could not register you due to a mysql error (Contact the website owner if this continues to happen.)");
}
$name = $_POST['username'];
echo "Registered";
mkdir("files/" . $name);  
copy("cindex.php", "files/" . $name . "/index.php") or die("Unable to copy $old to $new.");

Post the actual error.

ManiacDan · September 15, 2012

There is no syntax error in this code.

The error you got will include a line number and a file name. Find that line in that file. Show us that line and the 10 lines above it.

Also, "oops" is spelled like that.

Post the actual error.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in login.php on line 36

Same code as before

Jessica · September 16, 2012

There is still no syntax error in that file.

jazzman1 · September 16, 2012

Do you understand what does a piece of code mean?

if(!mysql_query("INSERT INTO Users (email, username, password, birth)
VALUES ('$Email', '$Username', '$Password', '$Birth')"))

fantity · September 16, 2012

There is still no syntax error in that file.

I don't know what's wrong here

. 	 $name = $_POST['username'];
60. 	 echo "Registered";
61. 	 mkdir("files/" . $name);  
62. 	 copy("cindex.php", "files/" . $name . "/index.php") or die("Unable to copy $old to $new.");

Pikachu2000 · September 16, 2012

Still no error in the posted code. Post the whole file, in the same state it's in when it causes the error.

EDIT: Post it from the beginning to 5 lines past the error . . .

ManiacDan · September 16, 2012

Are you in the right file?

Am I missing a bracket or something? And yes this is the right file

Pikachu2000 · September 16, 2012

Still no errors in the posted code. How are you determining there's an error? Is this on a hosted site, or local? Are you sure the edited copy of the file is in the right location (directory)?

When I press register it gives me the error. I use a free webhost. And yes it's the right directory

jazzman1 · September 16, 2012

What's happening if you try to delete line 62?

fantity · September 16, 2012

What's happening if you try to delete line 62?

Same error

jazzman1 · September 16, 2012

Put this one on the top immediately after php open tag.

<?php
echo 'check'; exit; 
$connect = mysql_connect("","","");
etc......

Jessica · September 16, 2012

Then you're editing the wrong file or not uploading the file.

ManiacDan · September 17, 2012

You are most likely not in the file you think you're in. Does your host cache and/or accelerate your files?

fantity · September 17, 2012

No, here is the html code as well as the php code again.

<html>
<body>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" />
<title>Register</title>
<center>
<h1>Register</h1>
<br>
<form action="register.php" method="POST">
Username: <input type="text" name="username" /></br>
Password: <input type="password" name="password" /></br>
Re-type Password: <input type="password" name="re-password" /></br>
<br>
<small>cAsE SeNSitIvE</small>
<br>

<br />
<br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Register" />
</form>
<br>

</head>
<body>

<?php
echo 'check'; exit; 
$connect = mysql_connect("","","");
if (!$connect)
{
die("MySQL could not connect!");
}

$DB = mysql_select_db('a3056964_due');

if(!$DB)
{
die("My SQL could not select Database!");
}

//STEP 2 Declare Variables

$Username = $_POST['username'];
$Password = $_POST['password'];
$Re_Password = $_POST['re-password'];

//STEP 3 Check To See If All Information Is Correct

{
die("Opps! You don't enter a username!");
}

if($Password == "" || $Re_Password == "")
{
die("Opps! You didn't enter one of your passwords!");
}


if($Password != $Re_Password)
{
die("Ouch! Your passwords don't match! Try again.");
}


//STEP 4 Insert Information Into MySQL Database

copy("cindex.php", "files/" . $name . "/index.php") or die("Unable to copy $old to $new.");
  


?>

Also, if I take away mkdir and copy it works fine.

Pikachu2000 · September 17, 2012

Why are you creating a new directory and index.php file every time there's a new registration anyhow?

ManiacDan · September 17, 2012

Ok, for the last time, this can't possibly be the code. Look, I'll prove it. The very first line:

echo 'check'; exit;

That would exit the script with the word check. Every time. This is clearly not the code you're running in production.

fantity · September 18, 2012

Why are you creating a new directory and index.php file every time there's a new registration anyhow?

It is a file cloud website which makes a dir to store their files, the index.php that I am copying into that folder makes sure they can't use other people's folders and contains the file uploader etc.

premiso · September 18, 2012

"Cloud"

Fuggin buzz words.

ManiacDan · September 18, 2012

That's usually not how cloud storage works. There's still no security on these files, even if index.php asks for a password.

Still though, your script is fine.

fantity · September 18, 2012

I changed the end of the script to this

$name = $_POST['username'];
if(!file_exists("files/" . $name)) 
  { 
  mkdir("files/" . $name);  

  }
if(!file_exists("files/" . $name . "/index.php")) 
  { 
  $old = "cindex.php";
  $new = "files/" . $name . "/index.php";
  copy($old, $new) or die("Unable to copy $old to $new.");
  
  }
echo "Registered";

and I have no more errors :wtf:
