An error messge: I tried to insert a paragraph to my code

PHP
1

Hi everyone,
Here is a code I wrote:


<?php
$con=mysqli_connect("localhost","root","rootpass","tivonidb");
if (mysqli_connect_errno($con))
  {
    <p class="SQLconnect">
		echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
	</p>
  }
else
	{
		echo "Success connecting to MySQL! " ;
	}
?>

Here come an error message that accompanies the above code:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<’ in C:\xampp\htdocs\ iv oni\scripts\ ivoni_connect.php on line 5

Can anyone tell me please where I went wrong?
Thanks

HTML script and PHP scripts must be separated with tags:

Try this



<?php
$con=mysqli_connect("localhost","root","rootpass","tivonidb");

if (mysqli_connect_errno($con))
{
  echo '<p class="SQLconnect">';
    echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
  echo '</p>';

}else{
  echo "Success connecting to MySQL! " ;

}
?>

or this:



<?php
$con=mysqli_connect("localhost","root","rootpass","tivonidb");

if (mysqli_connect_errno($con)) { ?>

  <p class="SQLconnect">

<?php echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error(); ?>

  </p>

<?php }else{  echo "Success connecting to MySQL! " ; }

?>
