When posting PHP code, please use the board's [noparse]

...

[/noparse] bbcode tags as they make your code much easier to read and analyze.

As for your parse error, you've got two unescaped double quotes on this line (after the border attribute):

echo "<table border=\"0"" cellspacing=\"3\" cellpadding=\"3\">\n"; 

I expect you'll want to remove one one of the double quotes and escape the other.

[KeyIDentity]

I'm also getting an error here?! HELP!

It's saying "syntax error unexpected "/"

I' using phpdeveloper as a text editor

 echo "</form></table>n"; 

[bradgrafelman]

There are no parse errors in that code snippet.

However, looking at your previous code snippet, there are parse errors on the line above the one you posted:

echo "<tr><td colspan"2" align=\"center\"><input type=\"submit\" name\"submit\" value=\"Register\"></td></tr>\n;

More specifically, you again have unescaped double quotes.

[KeyIDentity]

I'm getting an error on line 21 eventhough you mention there is no parse error, it insists there is a parse error on that line, I highlighted it again, do you know why it would tell me parse error when or if there isn't one?

echo "</form></table>\n";

That's howit reads in my editor and continues to give me this message in the browser:
"Parse error: parse error in C:\wamp\www\DB\register.php on line 21"

[bradgrafelman]

You left off a closing double quote on the line before it.

[KeyIDentity]

Where?

[bradgrafelman]

The place where all 'closing' string delimiters go - at the end of the string. 🙂 Look near the end of that and compare it to the lines above it.

[KeyIDentity]

K I seem to have fixed that now on line 74 which reads:

if(!ctype_alnum($username)){

I'm getting a parse error here as well... If you don't mind can you define PARSE ERROR what the heck does it actually mean?

[KeyIDentity]

YAY alright, I semm to have cleared all but 1 parse error. This one throws me off and I just can't think of anything so please HELP!

on line 120 which is the php closing tag its giving me a parse error please tell me what the heck that could be!

It means that the PHP parser couldn't parse your PHP script and compile it successfully, thus it never got a chance to execute anything.

KeyIDentity wrote:

Okay.. which one? There are several different types of parse errors. Rather than expecting people to test your code and reproduce the parse error message, you should post the error message(s) you're receiving.

Since it's an 'unexpected $end' parse error, that means you most likely forgot a closing '}' brace.

EDIT: Also, there was no reason to start a new thread for the same type of issue. In fact, there's even a thread in the Coding forum dedicated to this type of issue called Parse Error: syntax error.

It doesn't say what the errr is, simply says parse error on line 120 which is the line with the php closing tag, can anyone tell me why it would do this?

[bradgrafelman]

Which version of PHP are you running? Windows/Unix? When I coped the above code snippet into a file and checked it for parse errors, PHP spit out this message:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in test.php on line 122

I am running it on windows... I just can't get my head around this one cause line 122 is lterally the last line with the php closing tag PLEASE HELP!

Okay, but which version of PHP? There are many different versions of PHP.

You seem to think that the line number indicated in the error message is the line on which the actual error can be found. This is entirely incorrect, and it should make sense that it's not; the line # indicated is the on which PHP discovered that there was a parse error (caused by some code before that point). PHP isn't built with AI technology, so it can't understand what you meant to type and thus tell you exactly where the written code doesn't match up with your thinking.

According to Notepad2, the 'else' statement on line #22 is never closed.

[KeyIDentity]

Well I dont exactly kow how to tell which version but I do know it's whatever version comes with wamp.server, does that help?

[Emma]

Left click on the wamp icon in your system tray. PHP > Version

[dalecosp]

Not especially --- the reason he was asking is because he was curious why his error message was so specific and you said yours wasn't. Typical Windows cruft, I s'pose ...?

Anyway, Key, go to the end of your script and put a "}" just above the "?>" and see if that helps. 😉

/me pats brad on the back and gives him a couple Tylenol 😃

Yes and no; it was an issue that appeared to have affected the Windows builds only, although I still called it a bug when I first realized what was happening.
