$mysql_password='something';

class mysql {
    try{
    public $db = new PDO("mysql:host=$mysql_host;dbname=$mysql_dbname",
            $mysql_username, $mysql_password);
    }
    catch(PDOException $e){
        echo $e->getMessage();

Answer 1

try{
public $db = new PDO("mysql:host=$mysql_host;dbname=$mysql_dbname",
        $mysql_username, $mysql_password);
}
catch(PDOException $e){
    echo $e->getMessage();
}

Try catch blocks need to be inside a method. But going with that, not sure why you are wrapping this in a class? Your class is a wrapper for an already defined class.
