See more:

this is line 3 -->if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect' . mysql_error());
}

mysql_select_db("kyle", $con);

always appears in the browser as "Error: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '')' at line 3"

i am opening it as "http" not "file" and i am using phpmyadmin on xp, with apache and mySQL running, anyone have any ideas?

If you've got a MySQL syntax error, then you must be connected to the server. Where it says "at line 3" it means line 3 of an SQL query, not the PHP.
