Parse Error

[dgadoury]

I am running a login script in php and get the following error. Any help would be greatly appreciated:

Error: Parse error: parse error, expecting T_VARIABLE' or'$'' in /usr/local/etc/httpd/vhosts/jetbase/login.php on line 7

First 10 Lines of Code: <?
session_start();
session_register("svUser_session");
session_register("svPass_session");
session_register("svAccess_session");
?>
<? $@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT"; ?>
<?
$myconnectionstrUserID="x";
if (($HTTP_POST_VARS["UserID"]!=""))
{
$myconnectionstrUserID=$HTTP_POST_VARS["UserID"];
}
$myconnectionstrPassword="1";
if (($HTTP_POST_VARS["Password"]!=""))
{
$myconnectionstrPassword=$HTTP_POST_VARS["Password"];
} ?>
<?
// $myconnection is of type "ADODB.Recordset"

What the hell is this?
<? $@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT"; ?>

would work better
<? $LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT"; ?>
the '@' is a special char for PHP, it reads that as an error suppresor for a function call.

read up in the manual about variables and their naming conventions.
