Ok. Im just learning php, so bear with me.

I’m getting this error…

**Parse error** : parse error, unexpected T\_VARIABLE in **c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\adcore\login.php** on line **11**

withthis code…

if (isset($\_POST[“log\_in”])) {  
require\_once("…/adcore.php")  
$check = mysql\_query(“select id, username, password from members where username=”.$\_POST[“username”].";", $conn) or die(mysql\_error();  
if($\_POST[“password”] == mysql\_result($check,0,“password”){  
$\_SESSION[“uid”] = 1;//mysql\_result($check,0,“id”);  
$\_SESSION[“username”] = “Paul”;//mysql\_result($check,0,“username”);  
$\_SESSION[“credits”] = 0;  
header(“Location: earn.php”);  
}else{  
header(“Location: login.php?var=invalid”);  
}  
}

Line 11 being…$check = mysql\_query(“select id, username, password from members where username=”.$\_POST[“username”].";", $conn) or die(mysql\_error();
