scrap0346 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 I'm trying to setup a simple authentication for users but I keep getting this error:Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/mikemeye/public_html/test/index.php on line 32I'll admit I copied and pasted this code from a PHP forum, but I do understand HTML and the fuctions that are in the code, I'm just still working on the syntax of the functions. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!here's the code:<?phpsession_start();require_once('connect.php');?><html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /><title>Index</title><style type="text/css">.container { text-align: center; border: 1px solid #000000; width: 300px;}td { text-align: left;}</style></head><body><table class="container" align="center" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td colspan="2" style="text-align:center;"><h1>Index</h1></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" style="text-align:center;"> <?php if(isset($_SESSION['username'])) { $data = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query('SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE `username`="'.$_SESSION['username'].'"')); echo 'You are logged in, '.$_SESSION['username'].'. <br /><br />Your last log in was '.date('l, F j, Y', $data['last_seen']).' <br /><br />You registered '.date('l, F j, Y', $data['date_registered']).'<br /><br /><a href="logout.php">Click here to logout</a>'; }else{ echo 'You aren't logged in.<br /><br />Please <a href="register.php">register</a> or <a href="login.php">log in.</a>'; } ?> </td> </tr></table></body></html>(connect.php just connects to the mysql database, it was just easier to put it in a separate .php file than have to rewrite it each time) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenrbnsn Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 In this echo statement:[code]<?php echo 'You aren't logged in.Please <a href="register.php">register[/url] or <a href="login.php">log in.[/url]';?>[/code]you have a single quote inside a string that is delimited by a single quote which effectively ends the string so PHP doesn't know what to make of the rest of the string. I would write it like this:[code]<?php echo "You aren't" . ' logged in.Please <a href="register.php">register[/url] or <a href="login.php">log in.[/url]';?>[/code]Other people would probably code it differently.Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
