Syntax error indicates that you may have made a mistake while creating your PHP structure. When this error appears it will tell you which file the error appears in (e.g., functions.php) and approximately which line (it may not always be the exact line so be sure to check just before and just after) in the code. Try:
– fix PHP structure in the file around the line indicated in the error message
– or, upload a fresh copy (unedited) of this file

Line 22 is the username. As the name of my website indicates, this is a subdomain, which exsist along 3 other domains (2 subs, and one main). I even tried copying in the above part from the other sites config file, but I still get the same error message.
Ps. Wp-admin works when I try my local install on mamp. I tried changing and deleting in the username. It dosent even say problem with connecting to database. It just keeps on giving the same message.

Look at that closely. you have a funny character (smart quote?) instead of an apostrophe ‘
I agree. I see one here – define('DB_NAME', 'xxx’);
If that’s a copy-paste of the actual file, was it edited/saved with something other than a plain text editor at some point?

I notice apostrophe in
‘DB_NAME’
‘DB_USER’
‘DB_PASSWORD’
is different than the one in
‘xxx’
Also try reviewing this WP codex: http://codex.wordpress.org/Common_WordPress_Errors#Error_Establishing_Database_Connection
You are not using apostophes around the strings!
Yes i noticed that too. Currently im trying to delete one of the subdomains and uploading the files in that directory to see if its a problem with the creation of the db framework
I made it work guys!
The problem was that i used ´and` instead of ‘… Still having a hard time figuring the whole thing out, as I was merely using the sample platform to create to whole thing. Really glad for all the help though!
Have a great evening!
Best regards
