There are a couple errors I can see here right off the bat.

The most important one though, would be that you don't seem to have turned
on debugging messages for being sent to the browser, because they are clear
syntax errors, and would have appeared to you ...! ;-)

Include this at the top of the PHP file:

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
?>

Then run your code again. The error reporting should display and make
debugging easier. :-)
