Hi all. New to PHP, not to programming. Can't find the error. Your expert eyes are appreciated:

ERROR: Parse error: parse error in /var/www/html/admin/pictures.phtml on line 6

CODE:
<?
$db_name="photos";
$table_name="images";
$connection=@mysql_connect("localhost","username","password") or die("could not connect to mysql");
$db=@mysql_select_db($db_name, $connection) or die("could not select D😎;
$result = mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM images",$connection) or die("could not query DB");
$imageID = mysql_result($result,0);
?>

[deleted]

$db=@mysql_select_db($db_name, $connection) or die("could not select DB!!!"!!!);
