Syntax Error When Writing Data Into a Table - unexpected T_VARIABLE - php

Question

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in upload_file.php on line 44
The code worked until I added these lines :
Lines 42-44 :
$path = "uploads/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
$Link = mysql_connect($Host, $User, $Password);
$Query = "INSERT INTO $Table_7 VALUES ('0','"$path"')";
Thanks it sorta worked. The script is for uploading images into a folder. That part of works but I cannot write the image path into the table. I have a table with two fields :
picid - auto incrementing primary key
path - varchar(60)
Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I've added the full script.
UPDATE. FULL CODE
<?php
include "connect.php";
$allowedExts = array("gif", "jpeg", "jpg", "png");
$temp = explode(".", $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
$extension = end($temp);
if ((($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/gif")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpg")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/x-png")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/png"))
&& ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 10000)
&& in_array($extension, $allowedExts))
{
if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0)
{
echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br>";
}
else
{
echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . "<br>";
echo "Type: " . $_FILES["file"]["type"] . "<br>";
echo "Size: " . ($_FILES["file"]["size"] / 1024) . " kB<br>";
echo "Temp file: " . $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"] . "<br>";
if (file_exists("uploads/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]))
{
echo $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " already exists. ";
}
else
{
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],
"uploads/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
echo "Stored in: " . "uploads/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
}
}
}
else
{
echo "Invalid file";
}
$path = "uploads/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
$Link = mysql_connect($Host, $User, $Password);
$Query = "INSERT INTO $Table_7 VALUES ('0','{$path}')";
?>

You are missing you concatenation operator on line 44:
$Query = "INSERT INTO $Table_7 VALUES ('0','"$path"')";
should be
$Query = "INSERT INTO $Table_7 VALUES ('0','".$path."')";
or
$Query = "INSERT INTO $Table_7 VALUES ('0','$path')";
or
$Query = "INSERT INTO $Table_7 VALUES ('0','{$path}')";
