syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE [closed]

Question

I can't seem to find where my code has went wrong. Here is my full error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in C:\xampp\htdocs\GigaLoad.com\register.php on line 102

But I've been looking a that line for hours. I will give you the entire code cause my newbie brain cant find the error:

$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='$username'")

Hope you can help if you need more info just let me know.

Here Is The Extra Code

 if (strstr($email, "@") && strstr($email, ".") && (strlen($email) >=6)){
   require ("scripts/connect.php")
   $query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='$username'") // <-- Error here
   $numrows = mysql_num_rows ($query)
   if ($numrows == 0){
        /* ... */

EDIT:

I am still getting major erros i will give the code and can you tell what i am missing

Answer 1

There is no semicolon at the end of that instruction causing the error.

EDIT

Like RiverC pointed out, there is no semicolon at the end of the previous line!

require ("scripts/connect.php") 

EDIT

It seems you have no-semicolons whatsoever.

http://php.net/manual/en/language.basic-syntax.instruction-separation.php

As in C or Perl, PHP requires instructions to be terminated with a semicolon at the end of each statement.

Answer 2

If that is the entire line, it very well might be because you are missing a ; at the end of the line.
