Nearly all lines are ended with a semicolon as with many other scripting and programming languages and if you miss it you will get an error.

After writing your script save it as phpinfo.php and then upload it to your server. in the normal way. And now, using your browser, go to the URL of the script. If it has worked (and if PHP is installed on your server) you will get a huge page containing all the information about PHP on your server
