setting cookies and using them as $
so im a noob in php…im trying to make a website that asks for name and then dependable on answer writes statement if else…it consist of two webpages:
webpage #1:
[code=html]<html>
<head>
<title>What is your name ?</title>
</head>
<body>
<form method=”post” action=”auth.php”>
<input class=”dane” type=”text” value=”” name=”user” maxlength=”18″ style=”width: 190px” />
<input class=”Button” type=”submit” value=” Submit ” name=”submit” />
</form>
</body>
</html>
webpage #2:
[code=php]<?php
$iu_cookie_n = “user”;
$iu_cookie_v = $_POST[“user”];
$iu_cookie_e = “0”;
$iu_cookie_d = “”;
setcookie($iu_cookie_n, $iu_cookie_v, $iu_cookie_e, “/”, $iu_cookie_d, 0);
if ($_COOKIE[“user”] == Lukasz) {
echo “Witaj w systemie {$_COOKIE[“user”]}”;
}
else {
echo “Nie znam Cie!”;
?>
well when i try to run it no matter of my input, it says:
“Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/pvtdd/www/auth.php on line 13”
I bet i made mistake in setting variables…but where ?

setcookie($iu_cookie_n, $iu_cookie_v, $iu_cookie_e, "/", $iu_cookie_d, 0);
// Assuming "Lukasz" is not a defined constant, it should be quoted:
if ($_COOKIE["user"] == [color=red]"[/color]Lukasz[color=red]"[/color]) {
echo "Witaj w systemie {$_COOKIE["user"]}";
}
else {
echo "Nie znam Cie!";
[color=red]}[/color] // <-- need closing brace
