Question

Can anyone tell me why PHP is igving me this error?:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'else' (T_ELSE) in C:\xampp\htdocs\Task2PHP\final\registration.php on line 139

(error is the one in * since I didn’t output all the code)

I can’t seem to find the problem

Code:

<?php

if ($isLoggedin === false) {

                                include("form.php");


                                    if (isset($_POST['Name'])) {

                                        // DECLARE VARIABLES TO NULL
                                        $Name = null; $Surname = null; $Username = null; $Email = null; $C_Email = null; $Password = null; $C_Password = null; $SecQ = null; $SecA = null;

                                        // GET ELEMENTS FROM BROWSER POST.
                                        if (isset($_POST['Name'])) {
                                            $Name = $_POST['Name'];

Answer 1

    echo "You have been successfully registered.";

'}'

} else {
    echo "Error registering.";
}

That’s the problem. The bracket I put in quotes.

I strongly advise you to use a IDE designed for PHP (like Eclipse PDT for example). It will show you exactly were the problem is with your syntax.
