<?php $title = "MarkHost.Biz - Download"; ?>
<?php require("styles/top.php"); ?>
<div id='full'>
<?php
require("scripts/connect.php");
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='$username'");
$numrows = mysql_num_rows($query);
If($username)
echo "<a href='http://www.markhost.biz/'><img src='images/banner.gif'></img></a>"; 
echo "You have now got access to the members page well done!";
else
echo "You need to login to to view the content of this page.";
?>
</div>
<?php require("styles/bottom.php"); ?> #

also how do i do a line brake between the first echo and the second echo.?

i tried that but still no joy

<?php $title = "MarkHost.Biz - Download"; ?>
<?php require("styles/top.php"); ?>

<div id='full'>

<?php

require("scripts/connect.php");

$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='$username'");
$numrows = mysql_num_rows($query);

If($username)
echo "<a href='http://www.markhost.biz/'><img src='images/banner.gif'></img></a>\n"; 
echo "test";
else
echo "You need to login to to view the content of this page.";

?>

</div>

<?php require("styles/bottom.php"); ?>

i now get this error?

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSE in /home/markhost/public_html/download.php on line 16 

i tried the above code but i get this error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSE in /home/markhost/public_html/download.php on line 16

well its because you don't use brackets.. and my bad, i thought you wanted it to show a new line in the source code...

if you remove the blank line between the last echo and ?> then i think the error will go away..

if you need a new line to display on the page, then replace the \n with <br /> tag..

[Jamie_Garland]

still geting

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSE in /home/markhost/public_html/download.php on line 16

hmm try changing

If($username) 
echo "<a href='http://www.markhost.biz/'><img src='images/banner.gif'></img></a>\n"; 
echo "test"; 
else 
echo "You need to login to to view the content of this page."; 

to

If($username) {
echo "<a href='http://www.markhost.biz/'><img src='images/banner.gif'></img></a>\n"; 
echo "test"; 
} else { 
echo "You need to login to to view the content of this page."; 
}

You might want to do some reading on the PHP syntax.
