Welcome to WebmasterWorld FLD_de,

is that line 241? if it is I can't see the error.

[FLD_de]

yes this is th line

$sql="SELECT * FROM user WHERE user_name='$user_name'";

Often the error will be on the line number that is reported, but there are situations where a prior line is really causing the problem - the parser just didn't hiccup there.

Check the lines immediately prior to 241. Look for missing semi-colon, a variable name not properly quoted, etc. There is nothing wrong with the code that you posted.

If all else fails, add this line to the top of your script and work your way thru the errors.
error_reporting(E_ALL);

I change some code ==> Now I get an error

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /var/www/web75/html/include/user.php on line 397

But the script ends in line 396

often when you get a last line error it is an unmatched brace or a (double or single) quote
