LinuxQuestions.org - unexpected T_VARIABLE in php script

I can't find the solution in my php editor.

The error starts at the 1st line of data :

Code:

 $data["dbType"] = "mysql";

can someone tell me where my error is please?

Code:

<?php 

  function post_it($datastream, $url) {



$url = preg_replace("@^http://@i", "", $url); 

$host = substr($url, 0, strpos($url, "/")); 

$uri = strstr($url, "/");

$reqbody = ""; 



      foreach($datastream as $key=>$val) { 

          if (!is_empty($reqbody)) $reqbody.= "&"; 

      $reqbody.= $key."=".urlencode($val); 

      }



$contentlength = strlen($reqbody); 

    $reqheader =  "POST $uri HTTP/1.0\r\n". 

                  "Host: $host\n". "User-Agent: PostIt\r\n". 

    "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n". 

    "Content-Length: $contentlength\r\n\r\n". 

    "$reqbody\r\n";



$socket = fsockopen($host, 80, $errno, $errstr); 



if (!$socket) { 

  $result["errno"] = $errno; 

  $result["errstr"] = $errstr; 

  return $result; 

} 



fputs($socket, $reqheader); 



while (!feof($socket)) { 

  $result[] = fgets($socket, 4096); 

} 



fclose($socket); 



return $result; 



} 

?>



<? php



  $data["dbType"] = "mysql";

  $data["dbHost"] = "localhost";

  $data["dbUser"] = "mem";

  $data["dbPass"] = "letmein";

  $data["dbName"] = "mel";

  $data["dbPrefix"] = "mem_com_-_mel";

  $data["dbPersistent"] = "false";

  

  $result = post_it($data, " http://www.mem.com/userz/mel/admin.php?"); 



  if (isset($result["errno"])) { 

    $errno = $result["errno"]; 

    $errstr = $result["errstr"]; 

    echo "<B>Error $errno</B> $errstr"; 

    exit; 

  } else { 



    for($i=0;$i< count($result); $i++) echo $result[$i]; 



  } 



?>
