Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /home/site/public_html/pfp/magazine/db.php on line 6

define ("LOST_PASSWORD_SUBJECT","Your Login Information");    //  Lost Password Mail Subject

?>

db.php

PHP Code:

<?php
require_once("config.php");

class db_layer
{
    private $conn;
    function __construct() 
    {
    }

    public function getConnection()
    {
        if($this->conn == "")
        {
           $conn = mysql_connect(HOST,USR,PSW);
           mysql_select_db(DB);
           mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8' COLLATE 'utf8_unicode_ci';"); 
           $this->conn = $conn;
        }
        return($conn);
    }
    
    public function execute_sql($arg_sql,&$arg_result,&$arg_error_msg)
    {
        $arg_sql = str_replace(';', ':', $arg_sql);
        $this->getConnection();
        if (!($arg_result = mysql_query($arg_sql)))
        {
            $arg_error_msg = "There was a problem With the Database".NL."Error : ".mysql_error().NL.NL;
            $arg_error_msg .= "SQL = [".$arg_sql."]";
            echo $arg_sql1= $arg_sql." ### ".mysql_error();
            return FALSE;
        }
        else 
        {
            return TRUE;
        } 
    }
}
?>

if comment out the private $conn line it just moves on and gives me exactly the same error on line 11.

any insight would much appreciated!
thanks
