There should -not- be a semicolon at the end of the SQL query when using
mysql_query() through PHP...

The problem lies elsewhere.

Cecily,
I'm sure you probably heard from others about your parse error. I know
it looks weird, but you need to have two semicolons, so instead of:
> $CDList =mysql_query(
> "SELECT artist_name, album_title ".
> "FROM artists, album_titles WHERE artist_id = aid");
you would have
$CDList =mysql_query(
"SELECT artist_name, album_title ".
"FROM artists, album_titles WHERE artist_id = aid;");
(Note the semicolon after "aid"). This is because the first one is to
complete the SQL statement, while the one after the parenthisis is to
complete the PHP statement.
