Why do you need so much paranthesis?

You can simplify your code for readibility, anyways, try this one..

PHP Code:

  } elseif (strlen($p['username']) < 8 || ereg ('[^a-zA-Z0-9]', $p['username'])) {

Please use code tags when displaying your code. The error is complaining about this snippet

PHP Code:

  }elseif{

after the "if" part, you have a curly brace when it's expecting to move on to the conditional within parenthesis. HelloWorld implicitly corrected this.
