Unexpected $ + other weird errors

phillip_s

Hi,

I've spent the last three hours trying to find the error, so I hope you guys can help me. I get these messages:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /myhotel/body.header.php on line 27

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '}' in /myhotel/body.footer.php on line 7

Here are the files:

#body.header.php

<?php 

if(isset($PHP_AUTH_USER) && isset($PHP_AUTH_PW)) {

include 'connect.php';

$psw = md5($PHP_AUTH_PW);

$sql = "SELECT username,password FROM mytable WHERE username = '$PHP_AUTH_USER' AND password = '$psw'";

$res = mysql_query($sql);

$num = mysql_numrows($res);

if($num != 0) {

?>


	<html>
	<head>

	</head>

	<body> // <-- Line 27

#body.footer.php

		</body>

	</html>

<?php

} else { // <-- Line 7

echo 'Invalid username or password!';

}

} 

if(!isset($PHP_AUTH_USER) && !isset($PHP_AUTH_PW)) {

header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="MyRealm"');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
echo 'Authentication required';
exit;

}

?>

I've already checked the other posts on those error messages, but I still can't find the problem. I've double checked the db connection - should be ok.

what ist that??

#body.header.php 


PHP:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<?php 

if(isset($PHP_AUTH_USER) && isset($PHP_AUTH_PW)) {

include 'connect.php';

$psw = md5($PHP_AUTH_PW);

$sql = "SELECT username,password FROM mytable WHERE username = '$PHP_AUTH_USER' AND password = '$psw'";

$res = mysql_query($sql);

$num = mysql_numrows($res);

if($num != 0) {
// this if must be closed with } 
?>


#body.footer.php 

    </body>

    </html>

<?php

} else { // <-- Line 7
// beginns with } ??, what are you going to do?


echo 'Invalid username or password!';

}

} 

if(!isset($PHP_AUTH_USER) && !isset($PHP_AUTH_PW)) {

header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="MyRealm"');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
echo 'Authentication required';
exit;

}

?>

Yeah, sorry 🙂

The two files must be used as includes in a main file. E.g. I have index.php which must look like this:

<?php include 'body.header.php'; ?>

Blabla and other contents of the page...

<?php include 'body.footer.php'; ?>

bernouli

that is the problem
there is no php code beginns or ends with such codes

phillip_s

Oh, so what you're saying is, that I can't start a if in one file and end the if in another file?!

bernouli

exactly!
but you cant do this

<?php 

if(isset($PHP_AUTH_USER) && isset($PHP_AUTH_PW)) {

include 'connect.php';

$psw = md5($PHP_AUTH_PW);

$sql = "SELECT username,password FROM mytable WHERE username = '$PHP_AUTH_USER' AND password = '$psw'";

$res = mysql_query($sql);

$num = mysql_numrows($res);

if($num != 0) {

echo "
        <html>
        <head>

    </head>

    <body> 
    </body>

    </html> ";

} else { 
echo 'Invalid username or password!';

}

} 

if(!isset($PHP_AUTH_USER) && !isset($PHP_AUTH_PW)) {

header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="MyRealm"');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
echo 'Authentication required';
exit;

}

?>
