I get this error message everytime i try to get to a page.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or '$' in [path removed] on line 31

Here is my code. 


<?php
//Registration form
function register_form(){
$date = date('D, M, Y');
echo "<form action='?act=register' method='post'>"
 ."Username: <input type='text' name='username' size='30'><br>"
 ."Password: <input type='password' name='password' size='30'><br>"
 ."Confirm your password: <input type='password' name='password_conf' size='30'><br>"
 ."Email: <input type='text' name='email' size='30'><br>"
 ."<input type='hidden' name='date' value='$date'>"
 ."<input type='submit' value='Register'>"
 ."</form>";
}
function register() {
$connect = mysql_connect(localhost, Securitized, securitized);
if (!$connect)
{
die(mysql_error());
}
$select_db = mysql_select_db(securitzed, $connect);
if (!$select_db) {
die(mysql_error());
}
//Collecting info
$username = $_POST['username'];
$password = $_POST['password'];
$pass_conf = $_POST['password_conf'];

$date = $_POST['date'];
//Here we will check do we have all inputs filled

}
if(empty('".$_REQUEST['password_conf']."')){

}

die("Please enter your email!");
}
//Let's check if this username is already in use
$user_check = mysql_query("SELECT username FROM members WHERE username = '".$_REQUEST
['username']."'");
$do_user_check = mysql_num_rows($user_check);
//Now if email is already in use
$email_check = mysql_query("SELECT email FROM members WHERE email= '".REQUEST['email']."'");
$do_email_check = mysql_num_rows($email_check);
//Now display errors
if($do_user_check > 0){
die("Username is already in use!<br>");
}
if($do_email_check > 0){
die("Email is already in use!");
}
//Now let's check does passwords match
if('".$_REQUEST['password']."'!= '".$_REQUEST['password_conf']."'){
die("Passwords don't match!");
}
//If everything is okay let's register this user
$insert = mysql_query("INSERT INTO members (username, password, email)

}
switch($act){

register_form();
break;
case "register";
register();
break;
}
?>

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Garath531,

I'm not sure why there are so many quotes on this line as they are unnecessary and also causing an error

change
if(empty('".$_REQUEST['username']."')){

to
if(empty($_REQUEST['username'])){

Thanks, it works, but for some reason, when I pust 'register' nothing happens.

You didn't check to see if the 'Register' button was pressed. Go to php.net and look up the 'isset' function. The logic should go something like this:

if (isset(<button name from POST here>))
do processing and such
else
register_form()

So, 

if (isset($_POST['register'])) {
function register() { 
$connect = mysql_connect(localhost, Securitized, securitized); 
if (!$connect) 
{ 
die(mysql_error()); 
} 
$select_db = mysql_select_db(securitzed, $connect); 
if (!$select_db) { 
die(mysql_error()); 
} 
//Collecting info 
$username = $_POST['username']; 
$password = $_POST['password']; 
$pass_conf = $_POST['password_conf']; 
$email = $_POST['email']; 
$date = $_POST['date']; 
//Here we will check do we have all inputs filled 
if(empty('".$_REQUEST['username']."')){ 
die("Please enter your username!<br>"); 
} 
if(empty('".$_REQUEST['password']."')){ 
die("Please enter your password!<br>"); 
} 
if(empty('".$_REQUEST['password_conf']."')){ 
die("Please confirm your password!<br>"); 
} 
if(empty('".$_REQUEST['email']."')){ 
die("Please enter your email!"); 
} 
//Let's check if this username is already in use 
$user_check = mysql_query("SELECT username FROM members WHERE username = '".$_REQUEST 
['username']."'"); 
$do_user_check = mysql_num_rows($user_check); 
//Now if email is already in use 
$email_check = mysql_query("SELECT email FROM members WHERE email= '".REQUEST['email']."'"); 
$do_email_check = mysql_num_rows($email_check); 
//Now display errors 
if($do_user_check > 0){ 
die("Username is already in use!<br>"); 
} 
if($do_email_check > 0){ 
die("Email is already in use!"); 
} 
//Now let's check does passwords match 
if('".$_REQUEST['password']."'!= '".$_REQUEST['password_conf']."'){ 
die("Passwords don't match!"); 
} 
//If everything is okay let's register this user 
$insert = mysql_query("INSERT INTO members (username, password, email) 
VALUES ('".$_REQUEST['username']."', '".$_REQUEST['password']."', '".$_REQUEST['email']."')"); 
if(!$insert){ 
die("There's little problem: ".mysql_error()); 
} 
echo '".$_REQUEST['username']."'", you are now registered. Thank you!<br><a href=? 
act=login>Login</a> ¦ <a href=index.php>Index</a>"; 
} 
switch($act){ 
default; 
register_form(); 
break; 
case "register"; 
register(); 
break; 
} } 
else {
register_form()
}

Should that work?

I tried it with this, 

<?php
//Registration form
function register_form(){
$date = date('D, M, Y');
echo "<form action='register.php' method='post'>"
  ."Username: <input type='text' name='username' size='30'><br>"
  ."Password: <input type='password' name='password' size='30'><br>"
  ."Confirm your password: <input type='password' name='password_conf' size='30'><br>"
  ."Email: <input type='text' name='email' size='30'><br>"
  ."<input type='hidden' name='date' value='$date'>"
  ."<input type='submit' value='Register' name='register'>"
  ."</form>";
}
function register() {
$connect = mysql_connect("localhost", "demonchat_garat", "rolyat");
if (!$connect)
{
die(mysql_error());
}
$select_db = mysql_select_db("demonchat_chat", $connect);
if (!$select_db) {
die(mysql_error());
}
//Collecting info
$username = $_POST['username'];
$password = $_POST['password'];
$pass_conf = $_POST['password_conf'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$date = $_POST['date'];
//Here we will check do we have all inputs filled
if(empty($_REQUEST['username'])){
die("Please enter your username!<br>");
}
if(empty($_REQUEST['password'])){
die("Please enter your password!<br>");
}
if(empty($_REQUEST['password_conf'])){
die("Please confirm your password!<br>");
}
if(empty($_REQUEST['email'])){
die("Please enter your email!");
}
//Let's check if this username is already in use
$user_check = mysql_query("SELECT username FROM members WHERE username = '".$_REQUEST
['username']."'");
$do_user_check = mysql_num_rows($user_check);
//Now if email is already in use
$email_check = mysql_query("SELECT email FROM members WHERE email= '".$_REQUEST['email']."'");
$do_email_check = mysql_num_rows($email_check);
//Now display errors
if($do_user_check > 0){
die("Username is already in use!<br>");
}
if($do_email_check > 0){
die("Email is already in use!");
}
//Now let's check does passwords match
if($_REQUEST['password']!= $_REQUEST['password_conf']){
die("Passwords don't match!");
}
//If everything is okay let's register this user
$insert = mysql_query("INSERT INTO members (username, password, email) 
VALUES ('".$_REQUEST['username']."', '".$_REQUEST['password']."', '".$_REQUEST['email']."')");
if(!$insert){
die("There's little problem: ".mysql_error());
}
echo $_REQUEST['username']; ", you are now registered. Thank you!<br>";
echo "<a href=act=login>Login</a> ¦ <a href=index.php>Index</a>";
}
switch($act){
default;
register_form();
break;
case "register";
register();
break;
}
if (isset($_POST['register'])){
register()
}
else {
register_form()
}
?>

But I get an error about an unexpected } on line 80.

the line number seems strange and I didn't really feel like counting braces to make sure they match, which you could do

I did notice that you are missing semi colons here

if (isset($_POST['register'])){
register()
}
else {
register_form()
}

both those function calls should end in a semi colon like so

if (isset($_POST['register'])){
register();
}
else {
register_form();
}

Thanks. I put in the semi-colons and it worked.
