parse error calling a class function

[jwsaund]

I\'m implementing a registration/session handling code package based on articles from this site. I\'m getting a parse error when calling the class function \'register\' of class $authlib, where $authlib has been defined in \"backend.php\":

require(\"backend.php\");
$register = $authlib->register($username, $password, $password2, $name, $email, $age, $sex, $school);

All of the arguments to \'register\' have been passed from a form via the POST method.

help!

Well, a parse error generally means that there is something wrong with the code - either your missing a quotation mark or something. If you posted the code around where your getting a parse error, that would allow someone to help you better.

The code lines that i posted are the first few lines of the program, there's nothing else before these lines. i believe i have all the right quotes, parentheses,etc but still get the error. what am i missing?

does it fail if any of the vars have a space or special character? you're probably going to need quotes around the vars.

$register = $authlib->register('$username', '$password', '$password2', '$name', '$email', '$age', '$sex', '$school')

also you're probably going to want to addslashes() around each var to prevent users from messing up your query.
