Hiya
Got this problem when trying to log in:
Parse error: parse error in D:\wamp\www\tutorial\authenticate.php on line 7
Here's my code

Authenticate.php

Code: Select all

<?php
include_once 'connect.php';
session_start();

if (isset($_POST['submit']))
(
  $player=$_POST['player'];
  $password=$_POST['password'];
  $player=strip_tags($password);
  $password=strip_tags($password);
  $password=md5($password);

  $query = "select name,password from players where name='$player' and '$password'";
  $result = mysql_query($query) or die("Could not query players");
  $result2 = mysql_fetch_array($result);
  if ($result2)
  (
    $_SESSION['player']=$player;
    
    echo "<big>Logged in successfully<br>";
    echo "<A href='battle.php'>Continue</a></big>";
  )
  else
  (
   echo "<big>Wrong Username or Password.<A href='login.php'>Try Again</a></big>";
  )
)
?>

change your ( ) to { } in the if and else statements

Could you please post me the whole, edited code? Thank you

Oh come on, not a hard error. A simple PHP syntax error...
This is wrong:

Code: Select all

if (true)
(
echo "true";
)

This is right:

Code: Select all

if (true)
{
echo "true";
}

The differences are just () should be {} in the places showed above. If you gonna make a mmo you can't expect people will be fixing this kind of problem all the time so you just can copy & paste, you will learn a lot more by fixing it yourself after someone showed you!

I don't have the code for this anymore as these files get updated in the next video, where are you having a problem maybe we can help you out. Post any errors you're getting along with the code and we'll see what we can do

[hallsofvallhalla]

yes post the errors but i recommend everyone continue with the videos till you get to some source. There is no point in trying to type all this out now. Just watch the videos and learn.
