Problem with Include()

mdj

Hi All,

I am inserting header and footer.php files into my php scripts.

Im not having any problems when they are needed out on their own, but when inside statements i keep getting parse errors.

Could someone be kind enough to explain how to achieve this.

I have given an example below.

<?php
// Conver to simple variables
$username = $HTTP_POST_VARS['username'];
$password = $HTTP_POST_VARS['password'];
if((!$username) || (!$password)){<br>
	include("header.php")
	echo "Please enter ALL of the information! <br />";
	include("footer.php")
	exit();
}

include ("header.php");

Note the semicolon at the end of the line!

Also, why is there a ' <br> ' in the middle of your PHP code? Not sure if that was intentional or a forum bug... but that would cause problems as wel...

Hi There,

Yes i tried this, but im still getting the parse error, any ideas???

if((!$username) || (!$password)){<br>
	include("header.php");
	echo "Please enter ALL of the information!";
	include("footer.php");
	exit();
}

Correct scritp:

if((!$username) || (!$password)){
include("header.php");
echo "Please enter ALL of the information!";
include("footer.php");
exit();

}

this should work. Note its without BR tag!! If this wont work, just tell us, on which LINE of this statement occurs...

Ignore me, i removed the wrong <br> statement!
