Couple of errors im getting and need help

sunit_modi

hi,

I was wondering if you could help me out here.
I get the following errors and have no idea whats wrong, im sure its simple but i cant see it.

Error 1

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in c:\apache\htdocs\test_forum\functions.php on line 23

corresponding code

$query="SELECT * FROM FORUM_MESSAGES WHERE MY_PARENT=0 ORDER BY ID DESC LIMIT $counter,50"

$topic_query = mysql_query($query,$link);

(link being the database connection)

Error 2

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: topic_display() in c:\apache\htdocs\test_forum\index.php on line 13

corresponding code

<?php
require('functions.php');
topic_display();
?>

in the functions.php file :

function topic_display()
{

etc, etc

As far as i can tell i have idea whats wrong.
the first error i have tried through the mysql command prompt and works (just substitute the value for $counter).

The second i have no idea.

If someone gets a chance, you you check out the following message i post last night but no-one has replied in the installation forum regarding SSL.

$query="SELECT * FROM FORUM_MESSAGES WHERE MY_PARENT=0 ORDER BY ID DESC LIMIT $counter,50"

is there suppost to be a ; at the end? like this

$query="SELECT * FROM FORUM_MESSAGES WHERE MY_PARENT=0 ORDER BY ID DESC LIMIT $counter,50";
