This line
$colname_main = (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? $SESSION['username'] : addslashes($SESSION['username']);

has a mismatch in brackets. It should look like

$colname_main = (get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? $SESSION['username'] : addslashes($SESSION['username']));

thanks, but it still makes the error 🙁

Sorry, I overlooked another mistake.

session_start()
$colname_main = "1";

There is a semicolon missing after the session_start(). It should be like this:

session_start();
$colname_main = "1";
