The following two (2) scripts are part of a software package that have been running perfectly on an Apache server for several years.
Code: Select all
<?php
/**
* This is the dbconnection script
*/
$Query = mysql_connect ("dbhostname", "dbusername", "dbpassword") or die ("WXYZ is not available at the moment. Please try again later.");
mysql_select_db("dbusername", $Query);
?>Code: Select all
<?php
/**
* This file loads the admin variables into an array called 'g_admin' for reuse
* And load the current time into the variable $g_time
*/
require "dbconnection.php";
$g_admin_query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM admin", $Query);
$g_admin = mysql_fetch_array($g_admin_query);
$g_time_query = mysql_query("SELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP() FROM admin", $Query);
$g_time = mysql_result($g_time_query, 0, 0);
?>Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /www/path/to/the/php/script/dbconnection.php on line 1
The dbhostname,dbusername,dbpassword,WXYZ,/www/path/to/the/php/script/ have been changed to protect the innocent.
Why is the Parse error displaying?
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
