    I was at one point too friend:) You are quite welcome. Also, big tip I like to give... Use single quotes so that you can use double quotes in strings without having to backslash. Like this:

    

Bad:
$var = "My nickname is \"phpl33t\".";

Good:
$var = 'My nickname is "phpl33t".';


or...


mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE `username`=\"$username\"") or die(mysql_error());

Good:
mysql_query('SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE `username`="'.$username.'"') or die(mysql_error());
