[/noparse] bbcode tags (not the HTML tags) as they make your code much easier to read and analyze.

As for your issue, there are no parse errors in the code snippet you posted. However, if either the username or the password for your database contain characters like single quotes or backslashes, it's possible that you didn't properly escape them.

thanks for welcoming me!

but i have no clue what to do now, what do you suggest?

As Brad suggests, check for unescaped single quotes and/or backslashes (probably in the value of $DBUSER).

One gotcha that can happen is that non-breaking spaces could have somehow got into the line, either at the end or instead of a real space. (I don't know how they could get in, but I've seen cases where they have.) The line would look perfectly normal, but in fact one or more of the spaces in that line would be an imposter.

And no-one here would see them either; if they were to copy-and-paste the posted code, they'd get ordinary spaces, and a syntax check wouldn't find any wrong.
