Hi I'm kind of new to the site and to php. I am trying to make a code which tells hello to a user if logged in or displays the Register/Login form if the user is logged out. Following is the code for it :
<?php if(empty($_SESSION['user']))
{echo " <a href=register.php >Register </a> Or <a href=login.php>Login</a>" ;
}
else{
Hello htmlentities($_SESSION['user']['username'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'); you currently have $_SESSION['user']['point']; points !
}. ?>
But it gives me an error :
PHP Error Message
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/a3897717/public_html/index1.php on line 63
And the 63rd line is this one :
Hello htmlentities($_SESSION['user']['username'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'); you currently have $_SESSION['user']['point']; points !
Please if anyone can help me, Please help !
Thanks in advance ! This not the duplicate i just want someone to tell me where i am wrong and correct that mistake .

Answer 1

You missed a echo before your output string:
echo "Hello " . htmlentities($_SESSION['user']['username'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
echo "you currently have " . $_SESSION['user']['point'];
echo "points !";

Answer 2

You're messing up with the concatenation.
Change this:
echo "<a href=register.php >Register </a> Or <a href=login.php>Login</a>";
to this:
echo "<a href='register.php'>Register </a> Or <a href='login.php'>Login</a>";
and this:
Hello htmlentities($_SESSION['user']['username'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'); you currently have $_SESSION['user']['point']; points !
to this:
echo "Hello " . htmlentities($_SESSION['user']['username'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8') . "you currently have " . $_SESSION['user']['point'] . "points!";
EDIT:
Since I could not find a online PHP/HTML compiler, to show that the above code works I have attached a picture:
Note: It is obvious that the error is shown as the sessions are not
defined and neither was the core problem of this question.
