I keep getting Inncorrect password. Help please?

while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $check )){$_POST['password'] = stripslashes($_POST['password']);$info['password'] = stripslashes($info['password']);$_POST['password'] = md5($_POST['password']);//gives error if the password is wrongif ($_POST['password'] != $info['password']) {die('Incorrect password, please try again.');}

I tried! It keeps saying Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in login.php on line 54or something like that.can you try to find what is wrong with my code?

<?php// Connecting$sql= mysql_connect("Sercet","Sercet","Sercet");$database=mysql_select_db("Sercet");if (!$sql){die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());}if (!$database){die ("Could not select db: " . mysql_error());}// $$username = $_POST['username'];if (!$_POST['username'] | !$_POST['password']){die('You did not complete all of the required fields');}//Check username$check = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Member WHERE username = '".$_POST['username']."'")or die(mysql_error());$check2 = mysql_num_rows($check);if ($check2 == 0) {die('That user does not exist in our database. <a href="registering.php">Click Here to Register</a>');}while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $check )){$_POST['password'] = stripslashes($_POST['password']);$info['password'] = stripslashes($info['password']);$_POST['password'] = md5($_POST['password']);//gives error if the password is wrongif ($_POST['password'] != $info['password']) {die('Incorrect password, please try again.');}else{// if login is ok then we add a cookie$_POST['username'] = stripslashes($_POST['username']);$hour = time() + 3600;setcookie(Username, $_POST['username'], $hour);setcookie(Password, $_POST['password'], $hour);}}echo "'Now you can go and upload files here:' . '<a href=member.php>Link</a>"mysql_close($sql);?>

Try removing the stripslashes() (as md5() negates the need), and not modifying $_POST

$password = md5($_POST['password']);//gives error if the password is wrongif ($password != $info['password']) {die('Incorrect password, please try again.');}

Also, check that the column in your table is actually called "password" (not "Password" or something).

You're missing a semicolon after this line:echo "'Now you can go and upload files here:' . '<a href=member.php>Link</a>"

What might be a headache saver is to just start off from the basics(mysql_connect(), mysql_close()).From there, check everything to make sure. Double check you don't leave a quote open, or you don't forget semi colons(PHP hates it if you do). Sometimes it's best to just start from scratch.
