Question by Jack-T

I am new to php. I keep having this error – Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/rixo/public_html/login/process.php on line 41

If you could look through it for me and see what is the problem it would be a great help.

-Thank you in advance

Answer 1

Its due to unclosed quote on this line

$checkuser = mysql_query('SELECT username FROM user WHERE username='$user');

Fix it

$checkuser = mysql_query("SELECT username FROM user WHERE username='$user'");

Update:

Found another query error on line 61 of the paste. There is mismatching quotes

$write = “INSERT INTO user (username, password, email) VALUES ('$user', '$pwd', '$mail’)';

Fix them

$write = "INSERT INTO user (username, password, email) VALUES ('$user', '$pwd', '$mail')";
