parse error in php

hi all,
i have written a code using php for sessions.it will checks whether the
user is new or already registered...
i am getting the error as
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSE in C:\xampp\htdocs\shopping1\task.php on line 16
kindly tell me what went wrong.
below is the code......

Code:

<?php
define("LIMIT", 10);
session_start();
//connect to database
$db = mysql_connect("localhost","root","") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("shopping", $db) or die(mysql_error());
$islogged = FALSE;
if(!isset($_SESSION["last_activity"]) || time() - $_SESSION["last_activity"] > LIMIT ) 
  {
    session_destroy();
    header("Location:logout.php");
  }
  $_SESSION["last_activity"] = time();
  $islogged = TRUE;
else 
{
if(isset($_POST["username"]) && isset($_POST["password"])) 
{
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM login WHERE `username` = '$_POST["username"]' AND `password` = '$_POST["password"]'");
if(!$result) die( mysql_error());
  if(mysql_num_rows($result)) 
  {
   $_SESSION["last_activity"] = time();
   header("Location:products.php");
   $islogged = TRUE;
  }
  else 
  {
   $error = "username and password do not match";
  }
}
}
?>
<?php if(!$islogged): ?>
<form action="<?php $_SERVER['HTTP_REQUEST']?>" method="POST">
<?php if( isset($error) ): ?>
<p><?php echo $error;?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
Username:<input type="text" name="username" value="<?php isset($_POST['username']) ? $_POST['username'] : ''?>"
</br>
Password:<input type="password" name="password" value="<?php isset($_POST['password']) ? $_POST['password'] : ''?>"
</br>
<input type="submit" name="login" value="log in">
</form>
<?php endif; ?> 

 

above the else statement you have code. You can't have that there and the else statement must directly follow the if before it, i.e this:

PHP:

if()
{

}
else
{

}

and not

PHP:

if()
{

}
$boo;
$booboo;
else
{

}

try this, I moved the variables into the else statement and fixed your br tags.

PHP:

<?php
define("LIMIT", 10);
session_start();
//connect to database
$db = mysql_connect("localhost","root","") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("shopping", $db) or die(mysql_error());
$islogged = FALSE;
if(!isset($_SESSION["last_activity"]) || time() - $_SESSION["last_activity"] > LIMIT ) 
{
    session_destroy();
    header("Location:logout.php");
}
else 
{
$_SESSION["last_activity"] = time();
  $islogged = TRUE;
  
if(isset($_POST["username"]) && isset($_POST["password"])) 
{
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM login WHERE `username` = '$_POST["username"]' AND `password` = '$_POST["password"]'");
if(!$result) die( mysql_error());
  if(mysql_num_rows($result)) 
  {
   $_SESSION["last_activity"] = time();
   header("Location:products.php");
   $islogged = TRUE;
  }
  else 
  {
   $error = "username and password do not match";
  }
}
}
?>
<?php if(!$islogged): ?>
<form action="<?php $_SERVER['HTTP_REQUEST']?>" method="POST">
<?php if( isset($error) ): ?>
<p><?php echo $error;?></p>
<?php endif; ?>
Username:<input type="text" name="username" value="<?php isset($_POST['username']) ? $_POST['username'] : ''?>"
<br />
Password:<input type="password" name="password" value="<?php isset($_POST['password']) ? $_POST['password'] : ''?>"
<br />
<input type="submit" name="login" value="log in">
</form>
<?php endif; ?>

 

"i am using wampserver with php version 5.3.0 i am getting this error in my php.

Parse error: parse error in C:\wamp\www\contactform.php on line 16


and i cant figure out what is wrong with my scripting.


the code is...

<?php

$to = "hiddenmirageads@gmail.com";
$subject = "New Special Effects";

$body = "New Form Request!
Nickname: ".$_POST['username']."
Email: ".$_POST['Email']."
Description of effect: ".$_POST['Describe']."
Provide Footage: ".$_POST['footage']."
Length of video to edit: ".$_POST['Timeofvideo']."
Price range: ".$_POST['checkbox']."
Time range: ".$_POST['Time']."
Paypal: ".$_POST['Paypal'].""

mail($to,$subject,$body)

?>

line 16 is the mail line. someone please tell me what is going wrong."

 

The syntax u are using for mail() seems to be incorrect..
The correct one is mail("$to", "$subject",
$message, "From:" . $email);
>u are missing the semicolon<
