[nelsonsuk]

Hello, I am very new to this and have purchased probids auction software - I am trying to install it but cant seem to get it to work - I keep getting the message

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home1/busybidz/public_html/probid-6.03/includes/global.php on line 56

Here is line 56

I think i have done everything correct

$db->connect($db_host=ftp.busybidz.com, $db_username=busybidz_dylan, $db_password=xxxxxxxxxxx);

i have x'd the password

Please help

It should be:

$db->connect('ftp.busybidz.com', 'busybidz_dylan', 'xxxxxxxxxxx');
