Cookies are now driving me crazy....

I have some code which I'll paste at the end of the e-mail that is throwing an error and I can't seem to find where the error is... Here is the error: "[Wed Nov 28 15:03:19 2007] [error] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in /Volumes/RAIDer/webserver/Documents/OLDB/customer/test/detectuser.php on line 27" Now... I realize that it's not expecting a '{' on line 27... But I checked the brackets, and from what I can tell, they all look balanced...Any help is appreciated! <?php include('defaults.php'); include('dbconnect.php'); //see if detectuser.php has been required, not URL’d. if ($legal_require_php!=1234) exit; // setup global variable $global_user_id, set it to 0, which means no user as auto_increment IDs in MySQL begin with 1 $global_user_id= 0; // now, check if user’s computer has the cookie set if (isset($_COOKIE['cookiename'])) { $cookieval= $_COOKIE['cookiename']; //now parse the ID:LOGCODE value in cooke via explode() function $cookieparsed= explode (":", $cookieval); // $cookie_uid will hold user’s id // $cookie_code will hold user’s last reported logcode $cookie_uid= $cookieparsed[0]; $cookie_code= $cookieparsed[1]; // ensure that ID from cookie is a numeric value if (is_numeric($cookie_uid)) { //now, find the user via his ID $res= mysql_query("SELECT logcode FROM MainLogin WHERE id=$cookie_uid"); // no die() this time, we will redirect if error occurs if ($res) { // now see if user’s id exists in database if (mysql_num_rows($res,0) { $logcode_in_base= mysql_result($res, 0); // now compare LOGCODES in cookie against the one in database if ($logcode_in_base == $cookie_code) { // if valid, generate new logcode and update database $newcode= md5(func_generate_string()); $res= mysql_query("UPDATE MainLogin SET logcode='$newcode' WHERE id=$cookie_uid"); // setup new cookie (replace the old one) $newval= "$cookie_uid:$newcode"; setcookie("cookiename", $newval, time() + 300, "/oldb/", ".raoset.com"); // finally, setup global var to reflect user’s id $global_user_id= $cookie_uid; } else { // redirect if logcodes are not equal echo "Logcodes are not equal"; } } else { // redirect if user ID does not exist in database echo "User not in database"; } } else { // redirect in case of database error echo "database error"; } } else { // redirect if user ID in cookie not numeric echo "Cookie not numeric"; } } ?> -- Jason Pruim Raoset Inc.
