[Resolved] Parse error

[Jon12345]

I'm getting the following error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/alwaysac/public_html/pea1.php on line 5

What is wrong with my syntax?

<?
$dbh=mysql_connect ("localhost", "alwaysac", "xxx") or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ("alwaysac_MyArticles");
insert into Articles (TopicName) values
($Topic);
?>

I think you are looking for something like this :

<?
$dbh=mysql_connect ("localhost", "alwaysac", "xxx") or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ("alwaysac_MyArticles");
mysql_query("insert into Articles (TopicName) values
('$Topic')");
?>

Yes, that worked thanks!
