Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '$db' (T_VARIABLE) in D:\OpenServer\OpenServer\domains\Internetstor\models\Category.php on line 17

Question

There is such an error. $db. There is such an unpleasant error. How can this be fixed. I don’t understand how to solve this error, although I asked different people many times, but they did not explain it clearly.Please explain the solution to this problem! This is where the variable is declared:

<?php

/**
 * 
 */
class GetConnection
{
     @return 

    public static function GetConnection()
    {


        $paramsPath = ROOT . '/config/db_params.php';
        $params = include($paramsPath);


        $dsn = "mysql:host={$params['host']};dbname={$params['dbname']}";
        $db = new PDO($dsn, $params['user'], $params['password']);


        $db->exec("set names utf8");

        return $db;
    }

}

Here is the file to which the error is sent:

<?php


class Category
{


    public static function getCategoriesList()
    {
        require_once(getConection)

        $db = include GetConnection::getConnection;

        $i = 0;
        $categoryList = array();
        while ($row = $result->fetch()) {
            $categoryList[$i]['id'] = $row['id'];
