this is the code that is causing the errors. I was guessing it was my server but that seems to be ok.

<head>
<title>My Latest Jokes</title>
</head>

<body>
<?php

$dbcnx = @mysql_connect("localhost", "leerie", "zimazima");
if (!$dbcnx){
echo("Unable to connect to the database server at this time.");
exit( );
}

if (!@mysql_select_db("jokes") )
{
echo("Unable to locate the joke database at this time.");
exit( );
}

Here are all the jokes that are in our database:

<?php

$result = mysql_query( "SELECT jokeText FROM jokes" );

if (!$result)
{
echo("Error performing query: " . mysql_error( ) . ");
exit( );
}

while ( $row = mysql_fetch_array($result) )
{
echo("" . $row["jokeText"] . "");
}

?>
</body>

Parse errors mean you are missing quotation marks somewhere, or brackets, or whatever. The error you get on the screen should give you a snippet of text with a line number. Always a good idea to look around there and up and down a few lines in each direction.

Here is your error

echo("Error performing query: " . mysql_error( ) . ");

You are missing the closing " after the closing P tag.
