Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in

[griemar]

Ok, first off i'm a uber newb to php and mysql, however I'm learning more every day.  I'm just totally stumped on this problem.  I keep getting a Parse error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in *****\htdocs\racewars\register.php on line 41

As far as I can see there doesn't seem to be any errors.  This is what lines 40 thru 43 looks like:

// now we insert it into the database $insert = "INSERT INTO users (username, password)
VALUES ('".$_POST['username']."', '".$_POST['pass']."')";
$add_member = mysql_query($insert);
?>

I'm trying to create a login/register/logout script for my web page, but can't seem to any of the signup sections to work.  Any help would be awsome!  Also feel free to supply some code that I can experiment with if you have a better idea other than what i posted.

Thanks, Griemar.

You start your code while still in the comment, so it sees it starting at VALUES
[code]
// now we insert it into the database
$insert = "INSERT INTO users (username, password) VALUES ('".$_POST['username']."', '".$_POST['pass']."')";
$add_member = mysql_query($insert);
[/code]

Awsome!  I never seen that, i feel like an idiot, LOL.  Now, I have one more problem that I just noticed.  here is the error:

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'http' (10060) in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\racewars\register.php on line 3
Can't connect to MySQL server on 'http' (10060)

Current code minus vital info:

mysql_connect("*******", "******", "******") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("users") or die(mysql_error());

I know that user name and password are correct because i can access phpAdmin using them, what url do i put in to test locally???

host would be "localhost"

Man, you have made my day  ;D.  I have been trying for 3 days to get that simple script to work and couldn't figure it out.  I can finally finish the designing end of things.  Thank you SOOO much!
