    if( !$username || !$password)
    {    
    echo ("Error - all the fields are required, please go back and fill them in.");
    }
}
elseif ($help) {
$string = explode("*",$supportdesk);
$username = $string[0];

<?
$logininfo = "$username*$password"; 
if (!$help)) {<-------- an extra paranthese
setcookie('help',$logininfo,0,'/',0);

    if( !$username || !$password)
    {    
    echo ("Error - all the fields are required, please go back and fill them in.");
    }
}
elseif ($help) {
$string = explode("*",$supportdesk);<-----you mean $help 
$username = $string[0];
$password = $string[1];
                  }
?>
