Ethan05 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I'm pretty new to PHP and I was messing around with a prefab login script to use for my website. I came across a syntax error that I can't make sense of: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSE in [siteurl]/login.php on line 71 Offending code: 64 setcookie(cvc123, $_POST['pass'], $hour); 65 // 66 //redirect 67 header("Location: members.php"); 68 } 69 } 70 } 71 else; 72 { I've tried looking around at my semicolons and brackets, but everything checks out. What am I missing? Thanks, Ethan Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/79025-newbie-debugging-question-unexpected-t_else/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

trq Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Darkfreaks, you are changing code after the problem. And making a mess of it I might add. Sorry, we need more code prior to line 71 not after. We need to see what all those braces match up with.
