php header with unclosed {

[Cobra23]

Hi Guys,

 

I have an header.php file with a unclosed { after logging into a system. I tried to include that header.php in my index.php file with a footer.php that has the closing }. However, php does not allow this and only allows it to have an open { and closting } on the same page. Is there a way around this so i can have the header.php and footer.php included in the index.php file?

 

index.php

<?php include('http://www.mydomain.com/login/header.php'); ?>
----- html code here ------
<?php include('http://www.mydomain.com/login/footer.php'); ?>

header.php

<?php
 mysql_connect("localhost", "user", "pass") or die(mysql_error()); 
 mysql_select_db("db") or die(mysql_error());
 if(isset($_COOKIE['ID_my_site'])) 
 {
 	$name = $_COOKIE['ID_my_site'];
 	$password = $_COOKIE['Key_my_site'];
 	$check = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = '".$name."'") or die(mysql_error());
 	while($collect = mysql_fetch_array( $check ))
 		{
			$plan = $collect['plan'];
                        if ($password != $collect['password'])
 			{
				header("Location: http://www.mydomain.com/login/");
 			}			
			else if ($plan == 'MyPlan')
			{
			?>

footer.php

<?php
 			}
			else
 			{
				header("Location: http://www.mydomain.com/login/");
 			}
 		}
 }
 else
 {
 	header("Location: http://www.mydomain.com/login/");
 }
 ?>

PHP statements cannot be split across multiple files.  I see no reason why you'd need to do that. All php files must be syntactically correct

 

 The code you posted is for handling the login. It would make more sense to have that code in its own file and then include that in header.php when required.

<?php

include 'process_login.php'; // include the file for processing site logins

// other php code for handling the site header
?>
... html code for the site header
