i need help finding this parse error...

philvia

it's on line 476

I would highly suggest learning how to indent your code.

philvia

it would help if you tell me which line to put that on...

laserlight

Well, look at the first line, then go to the last line.

Now it's your job to properly indent everything in between.

philvia

ok ok... but where do i put

}}}}}}}}}}}}} else {

laserlight

that is line 476

You should have known that by now.
You should have a text editor with current line number and goto line number features.

The main problem is that your code is not indented at all, so it is difficult to see which code block is where.

Hence, the whole bunch is closing braces could be correct, or could actually be only 1 brace that was accidentally pressed too many times (drunk/sleepy coder?)

philvia

heh, i'm still half way a spleep... i do have a text editor btw...

philvia

line 476 is

$sql="SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='$username'";

Also when you include the header?

philvia

hmm?

laserlight

you probably have word wrap on.

turn it off

philvia

i added that to the line but.... it's still a parse >_<

laserlight

no, the problem is that you need to format your code.

Use an indent style, e.g.

if ($a == $b) {
	//do something
} elseif ($c == $d) {
	if ($a > 0 && $b > 0) {
		//do something else
	} else {
		//huh?
	}
} else {
	//do whatever else
}

if ($a == $b)
{
	//do something
}
elseif ($c == $d)
{
	if ($a > 0 && $b > 0)
	{
		//do something else
	}
	else
	{
		//huh?
	}
}
else
{
	//do whatever else
}

if ($a == $b) {
	//do something
}
elseif ($c == $d) {
	if ($a > 0 && $b > 0) {
		//do something else
	}
	else {
		//huh?
	}
}
else {
	//do whatever else
}

or even

if ($a == $b):
	//do something
elseif ($c == $d):
	if ($a > 0 && $b > 0):
		//do something else
	else:
		//huh?
	endif;
else:
	//do whatever else
endif;

turn word wrap off to read the line numbers correctly.

i did turn off word wrap and not indenting your code wont give you a parse error >_>

laserlight

In that case I cannot, or rather refuse to, help you.

I was in the middle of indenting your code to search for the parse error just now when I realised that it would be better that you do it yourself.

I could do the painful job for you, but then you'll never learn,
Experience the pain of indenting a script many lines long and you'll learn to indent it as you write, and hence be able to spot simple errors in code blocks that may give you parse errors if you dont correct them.

philvia

stabs self
i'll just get one of my friends to do it when they get online >_>

laserlight

why not simply do it yourself?

Maybe you are right in that, but indenting DOES help preventing parse errors, and certainly makes debugging ALOT easier. Do yourselve a favor, for now and the future.. Indent the code. It takes .1 second per line, and safes you hours of debugging time. If done consequently.

PS: Nope, I will not debug this sort of coding, untill there is some sort of formatting in it. Sorry. Guess I am not one of your friends.

...
i've done re-wrote it. >_> works now though ^-
