Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_STRING' or `T_VARIABLE' or `T_NUM_STRING' in /home/xxxxx/public_html/admin/admin.php on line 836

function updatePassword()

## Check input
$check="$HTTP_REFERER";
$result="$_REQUEST['Username']:$_REQUEST['Password']";

if( emptyString($_REQUEST['Password']) || emptyString($_REQUEST['Username']) )

derr(1005, 'Username and/or Password');
}

fileWrite('./admin/.htpasswd', "{$_REQUEST['Username']}:" . crypt($_REQUEST['Password']));

cryptpass($check,$result);

Any Idea how to solve this problem?

Thank You.
Aria.

## Check input

replace with

// Check input

# is a Perl comment identifier
// is a PHP comment identifier

However I do believe that PHP supports # as shell-type comments (although I have never seen it used in a production PHP script)

Additionally the line you highlight should be

$result = $_REQUEST['Username'] . ":" . $_REQUEST['Password'];

Rich2k,
Thank you very much for your help.
Problem solved! :)

Rich2k :

Nothing wrong with #-type comments, and they are supported in PHP "PHP supports 'C', 'C++' and Unix shell-style comments." @ the manual.

For some reason its discouraged, but I have yet to find a geniune reason why other than "I don't like it".

Annoyed me the other day as I had to update some Perl scripts I hadn't touched in a long time.. and I kept trying to put // as comments :)

Heheh -- well that's something else ;)
