Where is this error coming from? "unexpected T_STRING"

I'm parsing an installer file, and this damn error keeps popping up on line 14. Any ideas? Someone said to me it might be a PHP4 vs PHP5 issue?

<?php
 @include( "includes/config.inc.php" );
 if( @$_POST['action'] == "Install" )
 {
  if( !file_exists( $_POST['basePath']."/includes/config.inc.php" ) )
  {
   echo "Base Path is incorrect<br />";
   die();	
  } 	
 	
  @mysql_connect( $_POST['mysqlHost'], $_POST['mysqlUser'], $_POST['mysqlPass'] ) or die( "Could not connect to SQL server!" );
  @mysql_select_db( $_POST['mysqlDB'] ) or die("Database Not Accessible!");
  
 DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `articles`;

Code (markup):

 

 DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `articles`;

Code (markup):

This line throws an error. Regardless of the PHP version. It should be:

mysql_query("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `articles`") OR die(mysql_error());
