Ack! its 12:00am and my eyes are slamming shut. i had my first go at trying to learn php, and i think i learned a lot by following along in this login system tutorial. i learned how to do all the things in the code below. but what it reaaaaalllllyyyyyy irritating me is this error when i try to execute the script. it says "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in /var/www/loginsys/register.php on line 42"

i have marked line number 42 with this: ">>>> 42 >>>>"

by the way this isnt a site for gangsters or anything lol, i just used some funny lines (that i thought were funny anyway) to make things more interesting lol

PHP Code:
