parser error on my registration form

Question

I'm new to php, creating a registration form and getting

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';'

on line 6. This works well on my xampp local server when uploaded to Cpanel is when I get the error.

<?php
   include ('connection.php');
   if(isset($_POST['submitform'])){
      $name = trim(mysql_escape_string($_POST['name']));
      $email = trim(mysql_escape_string($_POST['email']));
      $passwords = trim(mysql_escape_string(($_POST['pwd']));
      $password = md5($passwords);
   }
?>

I'm using php 5.4 on my local Server

Stop using the **deprecated and as of PHP7 removed** mysql_* functions. Migrate to PDO and start using Prepared Statements. — Charlotte Dunois, Mar 20 '16 at 13:43
