I need help connecting to my newly created database. I'm trying to use this code

CODE

<?php
require 'DB.php'
$db=DB::connect('databaseprogram://username:password@hostname/databasename');
if(DB::isError($db)){die("Can't connect: ".$db->getMessage());}
?>

but the only thing I can get is

QUOTE

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /www/vndv.com/n/o/o/noobkillertestsite/htdocs/test.php on line 9

please help me! Also, how do I upload my database to my webserver?

Did you create DB.php?

Since its requiring that, and if you created, look on line 7 of DB.php for your error maybe.

Here's another question, do I upload mysql database to my server, or do I simply connect to it using php?

There has to be a DB.php and a database on the server for it to work.

This looks like it relies on PEAR's DB abstraction layer, it's not installed, you don't need it for a database connection though.
