PARSING ERRORS - Help

[syntax_error]

I am getting a parsing error when i execute the php code:

while ($cat = mysql_fetch_array($cats)) { // THis array function here is responsible for my parsing errors or so say IE/Netscape

This error occurs with the code (for management of jokes) i downloaded from the tutorial as well.

Whenever PHP lists a line of code that has a syntax error it's usually just a surrounding line. If possible, paste the surrounding 10 or so lines so we can pinpoint the problem a bit more.
