Question

I have a simple error that I just cannot figure out why I am getting it.
Any idea why I might get

SyntaxError: Expected an identifier but found 'Connected' instead

I’m using Safari, but I have tried in Google Chrome.
I must make it work with Safari.

The Code:

<?php
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', 'student');
if (!$link) {
    die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo 'Database Connected successfully';
?>

The Code that calls the above

<script type="text/javascript">
// Check if the page has loaded completely  priere to 2 seconds of the page being fully       loaded
$(document).ready( function() { 
setTimeout( function() { 
    $('#displayconnection').load('js/dbconnect.php'); 
}, 2000);   
}); 
</script>

Your web browser should not influence whether the PHP code runs or not. Also, this isn’t JavaScript.

Make sure the file can be executed by your server (does it have a .php extension)?

Try this code:

$(document).ready(function() {
  setTimeout(function() { 
    $.get('js/dbconnect.php', function(data) {
      $('#displayconnection').text(data);
    });
  }, 2000);
});
