Help with coding

Hi I am beginning the first stages of a tumble log and am having some trouble, this works.

<?php

$connection = @mysql_connect('localhost','admin','asdf');
if(!$connection)
(
die('Could not connect to the server!' .mysql_error())
)

?>

 

but if I add the following I get an error:

 

<?php

$connection = @mysql_connect('localhost','admin','asdf');
if(!$connection)
(
die('Could not connect to the server!' .mysql_error())
)


if(!mysql_select_db('tumblelog'))
(
	die('Could not connect to database')
)


?>

 

This is the error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF in E:\AppServ\www\tumblelog\database.php on line 10

 

 

 

I also tried this to solve the problem:

<?php

$connection = @mysql_connect('localhost','admin','glock123');
if(!$connection)
(
die('Could not connect to the server!' .mysql_error())
)

$db = mysql_select_db('tumblelog'))
if(!$db)
(
die('nope')
)


?>

 

that only gives me this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in E:\AppServ\www\tumblelog\database.php on line 9

yer not using curly braces { } for your blocks of code.

parens ( ) usually define an expression
