    When uploading wp config to php I'm getting an error message that reads:

    #1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '<?php

    Any ideas on how to fix this? I'm sure it's simple, but I'm just not getting it this morning. Thanks.

    If I understand you correctly, you are trying to use phpMyAdmin to run the wp-config.php file? That is not the right thing to do.

    wp-config.php should be placed in your WordPress folder as a file, using FTP or your host's File Manager software.
