I know its a silly question, but I can't get around with it, I am new to php:
$sqlCheckUser = "SELECT * FROM `user` where `email` = '". .$email ."' OR `username` = '". .$username ."'";
This line is giving this error : syntax error, unexpected '.'
Can someone please help why is this giving error in VS code, also I've declared all the variables mentioned. Thanks
