PHP and SQLite Login

(Straight to the Point), This code,

[code=php]$handle = sqlite_open($db) or die(“Could not open database”);
$query = “SELECT * FROM user_standard WHERE username=”.sqlite_escape_string($username).” and password=”.sqlite_escape_string($password).””;
$result = sqlite_query($handle, $query) or die(“Error in query: “.sqlite_error_string(sqlite_last_error($handle)));[/code]

gives me this error;
