Can't Locate Syntax Error

[Kage Kazumi]

Dreamweaver is popping a syntax error for line 8 (below), but I'm just starting out and can't figure out what is the issue. The Code:

<?php
include ('includes/connect.php');

function getPosts()) {
    $query = mysql_query("SELECT * From posts") or die (mysql_error());
    while($post = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) {
         echo "<h2>" . $post['Title'] . "by" . $post['Author'] . "</h2>";
         echo $post['Content'];
    }
}     
?>

I am following a Youtube tutorial and it looks the same as in the video and it executes in the video (12:23 time frame in video).

Note: Doing this on a localhost and not a live host.

Can you tell us what the error is?
Also, which line is line 8?


Also, the mysql functions are depricated.
You can take a look at this thread.
But a lot of people still use mysql (but mysqli has more features).

You've got an extra round bracket, it should be:

<?php
include ('includes/connect.php');

function getPosts() {
    $query = mysql_query("SELECT * From posts") or die (mysql_error());
    while($post = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) {
         echo "<h2>" . $post['Title'] . "by" . $post['Author'] . "</h2>";
         echo $post['Content'];
    }
}     
?>
