 * I am getting this error Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/
   content/d/m/p/dmphoto/html/davidmcclainphotography/wp-config.php on line 55
 * I updated the database password on my hosting account because I could not remember
   it, which created this problem first. “Error establishing a database connection
   
   This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.
   php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at h50mysql93.secureserver.
   net. This could mean your host’s database server is down.
 * Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
    Are you sure that you
   have typed the correct hostname? Are you sure that the database server is running?”
 * So I opened the wp-config in text edit and changed the password to the new one
   and then got the T_STRING error Any help?

 * You seem to have inadvertently created an error when adding your new password.
   Check your wp-config.php against the wp-config-sample.php file.
