hi
i am using apache, php and mysql on windows nt....
i am getting the following error....
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in line 4

this is what i have...

<html>
<body>
hello <?php echo "<p>hello world</p>"?>
<? php $connect = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root','');
if ($connect==FALSE) {
print "Database connection failed";
exit;
}
?>
</body>
</html>

<html>
<body>
hello <?php
echo "<p>hello world</p>";
$connect = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', ''); 
if ($connect == FALSE) {
	print "Database connection failed";
	exit;
}
?>
</body>
</html>

The problem should be that "<? php" should be "<?php"
