Okay, I was trying two tutorials on creating my own forum. The first one I posted in the wrong forum, so I tihnk I'll post this one in the correct forum. I want to get the two forums up to see which I like better.

With this tutorial: http://www.tutorialized.com/tutorial/Discussion-Forums-with-PHP/609

I did everything. Uploaded the files, created the tables using phpMyAdmin.

But I get this error when I try to access the board:

[code]

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in /home2/linuxmf/public_html/board/functions.php3 on line 105

[/code]

Here's the functions.php3 code:

[code]

<?php

mysql_connect("localhost","linuxmf_board1","012089");
mysql_select_db("linuxmf_board");

function showheader($title) {
?>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> <?php echo $title ?> </TITLE>
</HEAD>

<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF">
<?php
}

function showfooter() {
?>
</BODY>
</HTML>
<?php
}

function viewpost ($topicID) {

$topic_query = mysql_query("SELECT TopicName FROM topics WHERE (ID=$topicID)");
$topic = mysql_fetch_array($topic_query);
