This is a PHP issue, not a mySQL issue. You are getting a parse error because the @ is completely in the wrong place. I would suggest reading the PHP manual section on error suppression http://www.php.net/manual/sv/language.operators.errorcontrol.php Correct format would be <?php $db = @mysql_pconnect('localhost', 'user','password'); ?>
You are supressing errors returned from the function, so you place the operator up against the function call.

I'm having difficulties connecting to a mySQL database via a PHP web page when using a require or an include statement.
In my php file (e.g. example.php) I have an entry:
include('dbconnect.php');
And the full contents of dbconnect.php is as follows:
<?php @ $db = mysql_pconnect('localhost', 'user', 'password'); ?>
Then I receive the following errors on my web page when attempting to connect to the database:
Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in /home/virtual/site20/fst/var/www/html/dbconnect.php on line 2
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/virtual/site20/fst/var/www/html/dbconnect.php on line 2 Error: Could not connect to database. Please try again later.
