Need Help: Else code

[Cyan]

Just new to this website and I keep getting several errors in my "else" code. I can't seem to find wrong codes in it (I'm just a rookie in programming) 

 

My codes is here:

<?php

$username = $_POST['username'];

$password = $_POST['password'];

if ($username == '12345' and $password == '12345');

{

 

echo 

'<h1> Welcome To The Site! </h1>

 <br>

 <br>

 <br>

 This site will let you post your ideas!

  <br>';

}

 

else

 

{

 

echo 'Wrong Username and Password';

 

}

 

?>

 

I keep having errors in bold text. Since I'm new at programming, I don't understand some errors that were shown to me in the actual site. The only error that I get is (T_ELSE) which I don't understand. So can someone help me what should I do with it since I'm just new. (I am also new to the site so I'm sorry if I did anything wrong)

remove the semicolon from the end of this line

if ($username == '12345' and $password == '12345');

Hmm... that removed the (T_ELSE) error but I still got an error which is "Unidentified index: Username/Password"

Still can't figure out how to fix it... can someone help me?

I have tested your code and it works fine for me, I would check to make sure that username and password variables are getting set e.g.

if(isset($_POST['username'])){ 
      $username = $_POST['username']; 
}

It sounds like you are running the script without sending any POST data to it. You need check if the data exists.

$username = isset($_POST['username'] ? $_POST['username'] : '';
$password = isset($_POST['password'] ? $_POST['password'] : '';

You should also tidy up your HTML, using line breaks like you have is pointless.

'<h1> Welcome To The Site! </h1>
 <p>This site will let you post your ideas!</p>';

Use CSS to specify margins and padding between elements, not line breaks.
