I'm currently trying to fetch the medoo framework so that I can begin easily retrieving data from my MySQL database... and for some reason it doesn't work!
here's the code of my signin.php file
<?php function loginUserAccount($loginname, $password){ // Include Medoo (configured) require_once 'medoo.min.php'; // Initialize $database = new medoo(); $email = $database->get('MM_Users', 'Email', [ 'ID' => 1 ]); return $email; } ?>
And the error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'require_once' (T_REQUIRE_ONCE), expecting function (T_FUNCTION) in /myfiledirectory/example.php on line 4
Any help is greatly appreciated! I'm not quite sure at what's going wrong.
The php file that's running is :
<?php require_once('signin.php'); if(!loginUserAccount('bobby@gmail.com', 'AveryRandomPassword')){ echo 'error'; } else { echo $email; } ?>
There's also a difference in the wrapping for require_once... this doesn't make a difference does it? And if so, which one is more advisable to use in a production environment?
