I’m making a user registration script and i’m having a problem with line 5. I cant see what the problem is.

> **Parse error** : parse error, unexpected T\_VARIABLE in **/home/www/maive.awardspace.com/userarea/register.php** on line **5**  
> Can anyone help? I’m still quite new to php.

Thanks in advance…

```php
<?php
include ("connect.php")

// convert posted info to easy to use variables
$user = $_REQUEST['username'];//get username from form
$pass = $_REQUEST['password'];//get password from form
$email = $_REQUEST['email'];// get email from form
$location = $_REQUEST['location'];// get location from form
$realname = $_REQUEST['realname'];// get realname from form
$website = $_REQUEST['website'];// get website from form
$biography = $_REQUEST['biography'];// get biography from form

// strip away any dangerous tags
$user=strip_tags($user);
$pass=strip_tags($pass);
$email=strip_tags($email);
$location=strip_tags($location);
$realname=strip_tags($realname);
$website=strip_tags($website);
$biography=strip_tags($biography);

// remove spaces from variables
$user=str_replace(" ","",$user);
$pass=str_replace(" ","",$pass);
$email=str_replace(" ","",$email);
$website=str_replace(" ","",$website);

// remove escaped spaces
$user=str_replace("%20","",$user);
$pass=str_replace("%20","",$pass);
$email=str_replace("%20","",$email);
$website=str_replace("%20","",$website);

// add slashes to stop hacking
$user=addslashes($user);
$pass=addslashes($pass);
$email=addslashes($email);
$location=addslashes($location);
$realname=addslashes($realname);
$website=addslashes($website);
$biography=addslashes($biography);

// minimum lengths
$minpass_len = 6; //password minimum length

if(strlen($pass) < $minpass_len)
{
die("Password was not long enough! Password must be 6 letters/digits long..." include ("signup.html"));
}

// hash users password for security (32 chars random - md5)
$pass=md5($pass);

// create the SQL query to be executed
$request = "INSERT INTO `users` ( `userid` , `username` , `password` , `email` , `location` , `realname` , `website` , `biography`) VALUES ('', '$user', '$pass', '$email', '$location', '$realname', '$website', '$biography');";

// execute the query
$result = mysql_query($request);

// check if succesful registration
if($result){
echo "Registration was succesful" include ("login.html");
} else {
echo "Registration failed" include ("signup.html");
}
?>
