Hello,
Can anyone help?
I have been working on this for hours and days and can't find the error. Admittedly I am new PHP.

Here is the code...
It is giving me the error
Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/admin/domains/nmanet.org/public_html/nmacms/core/core.functions.php(570) : eval()'d code on line 330
THere isn't a line 330/ I think it has something to do with the Seission variable.


<?php
session_start();

if(!empty($_SESSION['userID'])) {

$msg="<strong><span class=MainContent><font size=2>You are already logged in! <br> Use the menu on the left to go to your desired Member Only location.</font></span></strong>";

}
else
{

//if the session is empty but te user is attempting login...
// if(empty($_SESSION['userID'])) {

if(!empty($_POST['txtUSERNAME'])){


$conn = mysql_connect("localhost","admin","mABjXhy1") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("admin_nma",$conn);


$user_name = $_POST['txtUSERNAME'];
$password = $_POST['txtPASSWORD'];

$user_name = stripslashes($user_name);
$password = stripslashes($password);


//checks to see if user is already a member
$sql_spw_check = mysql_query("SELECT Session FROM tblRealTimeJoinData WHERE username='$user_name' AND password='$password'",$conn);
$result = mysql_result($sql_upw_check, 0);
if(!$result){
die('Could not query:' . mysql_error());
}
echo mysql_result($result,0);
//$userID=mysql_result($result,0);

$upw_check = mysql_num_rows($sql_upw_check) or die(mysql_error());

echo $sql_upw_check;
if($upw_check > 0) {

//$_SESSION['SessionID'] = $sessionID;
$msg = "<strong><span class=MainContent>You are now logged in!</span>";
}
else
{

$msg = "<strong><span class=MainContent><font=red>That Username and password is not found in our database.Please try again.</font></span>";
unset($username);
unset($password);
}

} //username not empty
//session empty
?>

Are you trying to install this for a website? A lot of installation errors are due to not having the right privileges on the files server side. Make sure you have the correct CHMOD attributes assigned to each file/folder on your webserver

Also, check that you have the correct PHP version running on your webserver in relation to what the code was written for.

It could have been a corrupt file... have you contacted the person that wrote the code? Perhaps they have a FAQ contact point?
