on the brink of New Year with one last question before 2013.... Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /hermes/waloraweb004/b1384/moo.laissezfairelondonco/wolfcut/includes/login.inc.php on line 27 This is really obvious (sytax error), not so, because I have been through each line over 10 times; compared it to the code in the Ecommerce book and copied / paste from the downloaded code. So I can't see where I have left out a bracket or a semi-colon. Here's the code for login.inc.php from example one: <?php $login_errors = array(); if (filter_var($_POST['email'], FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) { $e = mysqli_real_escape_string ($dbc, $_POST['email']); } else { $login_errors['email'] = 'Please enter a valid email address!'; } // Validate the password: if (!empty($_POST['pass'])) { $p = mysqli_real_escape_string ($dbc, $_POST['pass']); } else { $login_errors['pass'] = 'Please enter your password!'; } if (empty($login_errors)) { // OK to proceed! // Query the database and is line 27 where syntax error is supposed to be $q = "SELECT id, username, type, IF(date_expires >= NOW(), true, false) FROM users WHERE (email='$e' AND pass='" SHA1($p) "')"; $r = mysqli_query ($dbc, $q); if (mysqli_num_rows($r) == 1) { // A match was made. // Get the data: $row = mysqli_fetch_array ($r, MYSQLI_NUM); // If the user is an administrator, create a new session ID to be safe: // This code is created at the end of Chapter 4: if ($row[2] == 'admin') { session_regenerate_id(true); $_SESSION['user_admin'] = true; } // Store the data in a session: $_SESSION['user_id'] = $row[0]; $_SESSION['username'] = $row[1]; // Only indicate if the user's account is not expired: if ($row[3] == 1) $_SESSION['user_not_expired'] = true; } else { // No match was made. $login_errors['login'] = 'The email address and password do not match those on file.'; } } // End of $login_errors IF. // Omit the closing PHP tag to avoid 'headers already sent' errors!
