   Hi im a complete novice so please exuse my lack of know-how.
   Im installing version 3.1 on a 1&1 hosting account (as they dont support newer versions) for my new employer. Ive come accross all sorts of problems but all have been solved. WordPress can now communicate with my database and now its informing me i need to 'run the install' when i press the button to do so im getting...

   Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '&', expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in /homepages/3/d82464793/htdocs/NDR Systems UK.com/wordpress 3 1&1help/wp-admin/includes/media.php on line 1465

   any ideas?
   any response appreciated....

   this is the mysql settings could there be a fault in the code here...anyone willing to cast an eye over??

   // ** MySQL settings - You can get this info from your web host ** //
   /** The name of the database for WordPress */
   define('DB_NAME', 'db378663635');

   /** MySQL database username */
   define('DB_USER', 'dbo378663635');

   /** MySQL database password */
   define('DB_PASSWORD', 'mypassword');

   /** MySQL hostname */
   define('DB_HOST', 'db378663635.db.1and1.com');

   /** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
   define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');

   /** The Database Collate type. Don't change this if in doubt. */
   define('DB_COLLATE', '');
