    I keep on getting Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/societies/ppe/pubwww/index.php on line 1

    The code is as follows:



    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd"><html

    xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en"><?phpglobal $db;$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "ppe_admin", "aw3421");mysql_select_db

    ("ppe",$db);include("main.php");function doMenuItem($url, $title){ echo "<a class=\"titlelink\" href=\"$url\">$title</a>\n";}?><head><link rel="shortcut

    Two things. If the spacing is all intact

    <?phpglobal $db;$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "ppe_admin", "aw3421");
    should be
    <?php global $db;$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "ppe_admin", "aw3421");

    Second. Please change your MySQL password ASAP.

    (password changed)

    I made the edit you suggested, but I still get the same message. Could anything else be the problem?

    you should have a space here 

    <?phpglobal $db;$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "ppe_admin", "aw3421");
    PHP:

    <?php 
global $db;$db = mysql_connect("********", "***", "***");
?>
    PHP:
    php and global should not stick together..:p

    It is very hard to follow your code mate. The problem is that you have a missing ";" or a missing "}"

    It may very well be in the main.php file. I suggest you start commenting all your PHP code by // and than restore them block by block and figure out where the problem is

    Can you copy and paste the file to a text file and link to it? Maybe that would be helpful. Changing the passwords first of course.
