This question already has an answer here:

I'm pretty new to PHP, and after typing up a few lines and testing I ran into an error that I have no idea on how to fix:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/nil/public_html/php/getuids.php on line 10

<?php

$connection = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "") or die("connection unsuccessful");
mysql_select_db("nil_chatModerators")

$query = "SELECT * FROM moderators";
$result = mysql_query($query);

echo $result;

mysql_close();

?>

Here's a screenshot of everything from phpMyAdmin:

Thanks for any help in advance!

Semicolon missing in line 4. See my updated code

 <?php

    $connection = mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "") or die("connection unsuccessful");
    mysql_select_db("nil_chatModerators");

    $query = "SELECT * FROM moderators";
    $result = mysql_query($query);

    echo $result;

    mysql_close();
    ?>
