Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE

[SilvaZodiac]

Hi everyone,

I'm still rather new to PHP code, and I have a syntax error. I've tried several different solutions, but it won't fix. It seems to suggest that I need a new bracket somewhere in the offending line, but being amateur, I don't know where. I've tried putting one in several places, to no avail. Clearly, to solve this in a smaller period than a week I need someone with more skill to help out. Heh heh.

The error is:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE, expecting '(' in C:\xampplite\htdocs\BraysideSite\Pages\blog.php on line 11

The following is the offending section of code. Line 11 is the "if $_SESSION" line.

<?php
include("connection.php");
if $_SESSION['curr_user'] == '';
{
//Redirects to login page below
header('Location: blog.php');
}
?>
 

If anyone could help me with this, it'd be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Silva

Your IF statement needs to be wrapped in ( )

i.e

if ($_SESSION['curr_user'] == '')
 

and you also dont want the semi colon at the end :)

Ahh. I see. I'll try it out.

It works. Thank you very much for your help.
