if anyone can help would be much help

heres the coding for user.inc.php:

<?php

function user_exists($user){
    $user = mysql_real_escape_string($user);
    
    $total = mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(`user_id`) FROM `users` WHERE `user_name` = '{$user}'");

    return (mysql_result($total, 0) == '1')? true : false;
}

// checks if the given username and password combination is valid.
function valid_credentials($user, $pass){
    $user = mysql_real_escape_string($user);
    $pass = mysql_real_escape_string($pass);  
    
    $total = mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(`user_id`) FROM `users` WHERE `user_name` = '{$user}' AND `user_password` = '{$pass}'");

    return (mysql_result($total, 0) == '1') ? true : false;
}

//checks if the given user account is active.
function is_active($user){
    $user = mysql_real_escape_string($user); 
    
    $sql = "SELECT
                COUNT(`user_activation`,`user_id`)

            ON `users`,`user_id` = `user_activations`,`user_id`
            WHERE `users`,`user_name` = '{$user}'"; 
            
    $result = mysql_query($sql);
    
    return (mysql_results($result, 0) == '0') ? true : false;          
}
// activates the account related to the given activation code.
function activate_account($aid){
    $aid = mysql_real_escape_string($aid);
    
    mysql_query("DELETE FROM `user_activations` WHERE `activation_code` = '{$aid}'");
}

function add_user($user, $email, $pass){
    $user = mysql_real_escape_string(htmlentities($user));
    $email = mysql_real_escape_string($email);
    $pass = sha1($pass);
    
    $charset = array_flip(array_merge(range('a', 'z'), range('A', 'Z'), range('0', '9')));
    $aid = implode('', array_rand($charset, 10));

Line 62 looks like an empty line...It could be because of the extra } on line 61. You'll need to remove it anyways for the activation id to be valid. Also, please surround code in the syntax tags. They can be located as a button above the textbox when submitting a new post. In this case it would be the PHP button.

also activate works but when i login i get a page page with no errors regarding this

[ScTech]

mysql_results() is not a predefined PHP function. Just remove the s so that it is mysql_result. Please use syntax tags....

[kevin1961]

i have the php tags already in after following betterphp tutorial on the email activation

but i dont have any idea where im being told to put the syntax tags can u help on this

thanks jan

When posting code, use the

-Your code here-[/syntax] tags with your code in between them.  It makes it a lot easier to read and makes the page a lot easier to scroll down.

Are you still stuck on anything?
