I have received an error when I run this code:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'while' (T_WHILE) in C:\wamp\www\SearchEngine\search.php on line 50

Code:

<?php
//php code goes here
include 'connect.php'; // for database connection
$query = $_GET['q'] // query
?>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>

                padding: 2px;
            }
            #search-result:hover {

You need to use curly braces for code blocks { and }. Not parenthesesis ( and )

                        if($number_of_result < 1)
                            echo "No result found. Please try with other keyword.";
                        else
                        { // open curly brace
                                //results found here and display them
                                while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
                                {  // open curly brace
                                    $title = $row["title"];
                                    $link = $row["link"];
                                    echo "<div id='search-result'>";
                                    echo "<div id='title'" . $title . "</div>";
                                    echo "<br />";
                                    echo "<div id='link'" . $link . "</div>";
                                    echo "</div>";
                                }  // close curly brace
                        }  // close curly brace
                        ?>
