[RESOLVED] Error

demise

I keep getting the error "
Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/www/demizegames.awardspace.com/index2.php on line 31". I don't know the problem. Can I get help here?

<?php
if(isset($_POST['username']))
setcookie("user", $_POST['username'], time()+9000000 );
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>Welcome to Demize Games!</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
if(!isset($_COOKIE["user"]))
{  

echo 'Please fill out this form: <br />
<form action=index.php method=post>
Name: <input type="text" name="username" />
<br />
<input type="submit" />
</form>';
}
else
{
echo 'Welcome back, '; echo $_COOKIE["user"]; echo '!';
echo

What's happening here is just a basic syntax error. You're missing the closing } bracket on your else statement. It should look like this:

<?php
else
{
echo 'Welcome back, '; echo $_COOKIE["user"]; echo '!';
echo
'<br><br><br>
<img src="http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e164/wrenchweildingmaniac/demizegames.jpg"><br><br>

} ### This was missing

?>

One other thing.. It's good practice to enclose PHP code with the

<?php
//PHP CODE HERE
?>

tags and other code in the

<html>
<head><title>other code usage</title></head><body> 
<p>html code here</p>

tags. This way we get the source highlighting and makes it 90% easier to read and more likely that someone will help you 🙂
