Syntax error, unexpected "$q"

Question

I'm kinda new to the web development, so I don't know if I'm posting in the right place. But I’ve started putting together a website. But when I try to run this Query(see the Picture) I get the following message.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected "$q" (T_VARIABLE) in my location

Do you have any idea what the problem could be? I am trying to publish the Header of my table in MySQL to the content of my page. (I have no problem connecting or wring to my database. But I seem to have a problem at line 6.

Thanks a lot!

Lokk at line 6

The backslashes here are wrong. If you want to use a Windows-style backslash you need to use `\\` a double backslash, not a single one, as there is a chance that the following character (depending on what it is) will turn the backslash-char into a control character. It is better to just use a forward slash on all platforms - this works on Windows as well. — halfer, Mar 29 '17 at 22:31
I would guess you have a SQL injection vulnerability here too. — halfer, Mar 29 '17 at 22:33

Correct your code,

include statement in your code dont have ;

include('config\setup.php');

Replace this line in your code and check.

try ";" at end of every include statement (OR php statement you are using)

e.g.- 
<?php
include('config/setup.php'); 
?>

In PHP every line should be terminate by ';' So whenever you are geting such kind of error just check your previous line. Here you are missing terminate at very 1st line.

include('config\setup.php');

Add this.
