Can anyone explain this error - I am trying to setup PHP/Apache/MySQL on my
home machine (Winxp pro)
I have got everything working now - I know MySQL works cos I am able to run
the MySQL monitor through the command prompt. But when I run the following
php file (see text below as contained in the php file) IE returns the
following error -
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in
C:\Apache\htdocs\mysqltest.php on line 8

PHP Script
<html>
<head> <title>MySQL Connection Test</title> </head>
<body>
<h2>

<?php
 $connection = mysql_connect("localhost","root","") or

die("Sorry - unable to connect to MySQL");
echo(Congratulations - you are connected to MySQL");
?>

</h2>
</body>
</html>
