Need a ')' at line 5

<?php
$username = "zack";
$password = "mypassword";

if $_POST[uname] = $username && $_POST[pword] = $password;
	echo "Access Granted!"
else
	echo "Access Denied!";

?>  

Error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE, expecting '(' in x on line 5

Assuming you want to compare the values and not assign them, you want to use "==" instead of "=". That being the case, it would be:

if ($_POST['uname'] == $username && $_POST['pword'] == $password)

Also, I prefer to always use braces around the if/else clauses even if not required (when only one line) just for consistency and in case I ever add a line later:

if ($_POST['uname'] = $username && $_POST['pword'] = $password) {
	echo "Access Granted!"
}
else {
	echo "Access Denied!";
}

Oh, and associative array keys should be quoted when using a string literal, otherwise you're using a constant (which may work but can lead to nasty bugs later).
