syntax error

[purple]

My code is throwing up the following error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in C:\xampp\htdocs\register.php on line 59

I've been checking the code for ages and can't see where I'm missing anything.
Any ideas?

//Check for a password and match against the confirmed password.
	if (eregi('^[[:alum:]]{4,20}$', stripslashes(trim($_POST['password1']))))
	{
		if ($_POST['password1'] == $_POST['password2'])
		{
			$p escape_data($_POST['password1']);
		}

	else
	{
		$p = FALSE;
		echo '<p><font color="red" size="+1">Your passwrod did not match the confirmed password.</font></p>';
	}
}

else
{
	$p = FALSE;
	echo '<p><font color="red" size="+1">Please enter a valid password.</font></p>';
}

Lie 59 is $p escape_data($_POST['password1']);

[moboter]

is the character in the 1st line supposed to be there?
eregi('

Simply should be
$p = escape_data(

        if ($_POST['password1'] == $_POST['password2'])
        {
            $p = escape_data($_POST['password1']);
        }

You shouldn't use eregi since it has been deprecated and will be completely removed from PHP 6. Stick to the PCRE functions. In this case, it would be preg_match or preg_match_all with the pattern modifier i. And the predefined character class is alnum, not alum.
So at first glance your pattern should be

$p = '#^[[:alnum:]]{4,20}$#i';	// modifier i for case insensitive

Howeer, since [:alnum:] contains both upper and lower case characters, you don't need to perform a ci match.
So this would do fine.

$p = '#^[[:alnum:]]{4,20}$#';
