what's your question? The error is pretty clear, you are missing an opening { inside the databases array

[BillN]

No question.

 

I am pointing out for the benefit of others that the tutorial on the website is incorrect.

Yes, as you say, it is pretty obvious.

You can use the "REPORT ERROR" link at the bottom of the page to notify the W3Schools staff that something on the page is wrong.

I did report the error but received no response.

 

I have also reported another error and awaiting a response to that also.

I don't think they respond. They'll look at it eventually and some day the correction will be on the website.

Hi BillN,

i believe this is because you might have opened the html page directly without hosting it on a webserver with PHP.

 

i hope this helps
