Parse Error - unexpected '?'

[anhedonia]

I am having some problems with this PHP code:

<?php

$$db_servertype_=_" mysql ";_

$$db_host_=_" localhost ";_

$$db_name_=_" dbname ";_

$$db_user_=_" myusername ";_

$$db_password_=_" mypassword ";_



$$table_prefix_=_" îmages _ ";_



define('ÎMAGES_ACTIVE ',_1);_



?_>

When uploaded onto the server this error appears:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '?' in /home/hillm/public_html/david/photos/config.php on line 35

I am a total PHP newbie, so I don't know how to fix this. Also, I presumed because I got this code off the support website for the particular thing I am trying to install (4imagesde), it would be correct... No such luck! Thanks in advance.

Your first comment isn't actually a comment. You have "/ _", you need "/".

Edit: why are all of your spaces underscores?

Hang on I don't know. Let me try copying that again...

<?php

$$db_servertype = " mysql "; 
$$db_host = " lothfghjt "; 
$$db_name = " hillmgjid "; 
$$db_user = " hilljfgjfvid "; 
$$db_password = " mgfhgsql "; 

$$table_prefix = " îmages _ "; 

define('ÎMAGES_ACTIVE ', 1);

That's the code I have...

I don't know why but for this part:

<?php
/ **************************************************

On the forums, it keeps putting a space between the / and the first *, but in the actual .php file it doesn't have a space? 😕
