hey guys was hoping you could help me out..
just to let u know in advance, im a relatively new php coder, doing a practice project, and came across this problem and ive spent like an hour of rechecking and googling but just cant figure out whats causing it
error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_FUNCTION in C:\wamp\www\forum\classes\ClassUser.php on line 7
the segment of the code causing the problem:
include $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]."forum/classes/general.inc";
Class User{
__construct($u,$p){ //this is line 7
$user=$u;
if(strlen($p)>30|| empty($p) || !preg_match('/[^a-zA-Z0-9]/i',$p)){
$password=0;
}
else{
$password=hash_hmac('md5',$p,KEY);
}
}
oh and since im new to php, incase im doing something which i should not be, please to recommend.. thanks in advance.
note:ive removed the php tags since they seemed to be messing with the formatting of this post :/
note2: im also getting another notice Notice: Use of undefined constant KEY - assumed 'KEY' in C:\wamp\www\forum\classes\general.inc on line 20
but im assuming thats more of a warning than an error... but just adding incase it has something to do with the error
general.inc:
