Parse error for php database

I'm trying to upload an image to my locally created database with phpmyadmin. When I try to upload it using Postman I get a parse error and some other ones. I know it's a permission problem, but I'm struggling to find a way to assign the permissions. Also could anyone let me know if there are problems I have to deal with? 

<?php



 if(isset($_POST["encoded_string"])){



    $encoded_string = $_POST["encoded_string"];

    $image_name = $_POST["image_name"];



    $decoded_string = base64_decode($encoded_string);



    $path = 'MyUploadImages/'.$image_name;



    $file = fopen($path, 'wb');



    $is_written = fwrite($file, $decoded_string);

    fclose($file);



    if($is_written > 0) {



        $connection = mysqli_connect('localhost', 'root', '','employees101');

        $query = "INSERT INTO photos(name,path) values('$image_name','$path');";



        $result = mysqli_query($connection, $query) ;



        if($result){

            echo "success";

        }else{

            echo "failed";

        }



        mysqli_close($connection);

    }

 }

?>
