Yep, a few things... 
 
The parsing is due to not closing off the { brackets. 
Change line 26 to 
<? }} 
 
Secondly, you will need to add a form to submit this data. 
 
Thirdly, NEVER use cookies to check whether someone has logged in, as  
these are client-side, and easily forged.... try $_SESSION values for  
this purpose. Cookies should only be used for things that don't matter,  
like user preferences and the like. 
 
Happy Hunting!
