I am getting error when running this code on my localhost.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_SL in C:\xxx\xampp\htdocs\user.php on line 49

Line 49 is echo <<<END

 

try somethning like this
print

 

please use code tags!
please submit to the right forum.

print, sprint, printf, echo

AND PLEASE don't close the connection before you have got all information you want.

So put
// Close the connection to the database
mysqli_close($link);

at the end of your script!
