title: PHP Login System Error Not appearing on page
body: <p>I'm using notepad++ and Godaddy's phpMyAdmin to host the server. The file does not display anything when posted and whenever I put it in a PHP code checker it tells me this:</p>
  
  <p>Error: There is 1 more opening parenthesis '(' found This count is unaware if parenthesis are inside of a string) </p>
  
  <p>and </p>
  
  <p>Error: There is 1 more opening curly braces '{' found
  This count is unaware if curly braces are inside of a string</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be much appreciated.`
