PHP using xampp Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '$query' (T_VARIABLE)

Question

For some reason it is giving me this error Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '$query' (T_VARIABLE)
code:

$query="SELECT * FROM posts, users 
WHERE posts.userID = users.userID ORDER BY postTimestamp";          
$result = mysqli_query($connection $query);

`mysqli_query($connection,$query);` – Abhik Chakraborty May 24 '14 at 12:32 — Abhik Chakraborty, May 24 '14 at 12:32

You forget to use the ',' in $result

$result = mysqli_query($connection, $query);

The reason is comma that you have forgotten:

$query="SELECT * FROM posts, users 
WHERE posts.userID = users.userID ORDER BY postTimestamp";          
$result = mysqli_query($connection, $query);
