Simple Parse And Syntax Error Someone Can Spot?

[yshua]

Dear Solver people:

 

Must be something simple. Here is the error message:

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software

Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\includes\db.php on line 6

 

for the following code:

 

<?php
 $mysql = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', 'mypasswordtofithere');
 if (!$mysql {
   die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error())
 }
 $db_selected = mysql_select_db('mydatabase', $mysql);
 if (!$db_selected) {
  die ('Can\'t use Selected Database : ' . mysql_error());
 }
?>

 

Can someone please spot it?

 

Thanks,

Yshua

You're missing a closing parenthesis after !$mysql, and a line terminating semicolon on the next line.
