Hi,

im having trouble i managed to create a password field and got everything working i then changed my mind and wanted to add a username field on to the login.

im getting the following error and i have tried both && and || yet none seem to work

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_BOOLEAN_AND, expecting ',' or ')' in cms/admin/news.php on line 5

if (isset($_POST['username'] && $_POST['password']) ) {
	
	if ($_POST['username'] == 'admin' || $_POST['password'] == 'admin') {
		$password = $_POST['username'];
		$password = md5($_POST['password']);
	}
	else {
		$username = $_POST['username'];
		$password = $_POST['password'];
	}

php

isset($_POST['username'] && $_POST['password'])

i didn't know you can set conditional inside isset() function havent tried it yet. and other than that i spotted you lack the closing brace of your if() statement. other than that seem fine to me.

if (isset($_POST['username'] && $_POST['password']) ) {
	
	if ($_POST['username'] == 'admin' || $_POST['password'] == 'admin') {
		$password = $_POST['username'];
		$password = md5($_POST['password']);
	}
	else {
		$username = $_POST['username'];
		$password = $_POST['password'];
	}
}

Apologies i thought i pasted the whole code. the closing bracket is in there and im not sure if you can either i thought i would try it. im new to PHP stepping up from HTML so im following tutorials and code from other content to create a user friendly content management system(CMS)

full code below

<?php

include('../admin/top.inc');

if (isset($_POST['username']) & ($_POST['password']) ) {
	
	if ($_POST['username'] == 'admin') & ($_POST['password'] == 'admin') {
		$password = $_POST['username'];
		$password = md5($_POST['password']);
	}
	else {
		$username = $_POST['username'];
		$password = $_POST['password'];
	}
	
	if ($password == md5('charlton1')) {
		$load_columns = true;
		include('../includes/dbconnect.php');
		if(isset($_POST['insert'])) {
			$load_columns = false;
			$query = "INSERT INTO `news` (`title`, `content`, `date`) VALUES ('".$_POST['title']."', '".$_POST['content']."', NOW())";
			mysql_query($query) or die (mysql_error());
			echo 'News item inserted! - press <form action="news.php" method="POST"><input type="hidden" name="password" value="'.$password.'" /><input type="submit" value="here" /> to go back!';
		}
		if (isset($_POST['overwrite'])) {
			$load_columns = false;
			$id = $_POST['id'];
			$title = $_POST['title'];
			$content = $_POST['content'];
			if (isset($_POST['update_date'])) {
				$date = "NOW()";
			}
			else {
				$date = "'".$_POST['date']."'";
			}
			$query = "UPDATE `news` SET `title`='$title', `content`='$content', `date`=$date WHERE `id`='$id'";
			mysql_query($query) or die (mysql_error());
			echo 'News item edited! - press <form action="news.php" method="POST"><input type="hidden" name="password" value="'.$password.'" /><input type="submit" value="here" /> to go back!';
		}
		else if (isset($_POST['edit'])) {
			$edit_id = $_POST['id'];
		}
		else if (isset($_POST['delete'])) {
			$load_columns = false;
			$id = $_POST['id'];
			$query = "DELETE FROM `news` WHERE `id`='$id' LIMIT 1";
			mysql_query($query) or die (mysql_error());
			echo 'News item deleted! - press <form action="news.php" method="POST"><input type="hidden" name="password" value="'.$password.'" /><input type="submit" value="here" /> to go back!</form>';

you had a misplaced parenth. this will work better

if (isset($_POST['username']) && $_POST['password'] ) {
	
	if ($_POST['username'] == 'admin' || $_POST['password'] == 'admin') {
		$password = $_POST['username'];
		$password = md5($_POST['password']);
	}
	else {
		$username = $_POST['username'];
		$password = $_POST['password'];
	}
