Im using XAMPP, and what i've done is tryng to connect to the database on phpmyadmin, however an error is prompt saying syntax error, the code is right however.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in C:\xampp\htdocs\csgopit\connect.php on line 10
The code itself is really simple and i dont understand why it's not working.
<?php
//connect.php
$server = 'localhost';
$username = 'zimmer';
$password = 'vegas2';
$database = 'csgopit';
if(!mysql_connect($server, $username, $password)){ exit('Error: could not establish database connection');}
if(!mysql_select_db($database){ exit('Error: could not select the database');}
?>
The database on PHPMYADMIN has that user and password in it.
I've started learning MYSQL a while ago, and i'm interested in php aswell, so starting with it right now actually, pardon if the question is dumb.
