Answer 1

You need double quotes " between the tag and the ; otherwise it will see everything until the double quotes after die as part of the string



die is a function, so you need to put its agrument in brackets.



So it should read



die("you must be logged in!");

Answer 2

echo "Welcome, ".$_SESSION['username'] ."!
logout,";



need a double quotes at the end of line...just before semicolon



You should put the die function in bracket with double inverted comma.



That will make your programs run



and don't leave any line blank line after the IF condition, as you're not using 2nd bracket "{ }" which is always recommended, so you need to make sure that you won't leave any blank line out there.



Otherwise it may give you an error.



Thanks!!!!!!!!!
