Trying to connect a database in php, but get syntax error

Question

I am trying to make a login page using a database I created in PHPMyAdmin, but everytime I run it, I get a syntax error on line 2 of login.php, and I do not know why it will not work. I am sure I entered the code correctly. When I run it, I get an error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ':' in login.php on line 2

login.php

<?php
    $dsn = 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=dbase';
    $username = 'user1';
    $password = 'pass';

    $error = "";

    try{
        $db = new PDO ($dsn, $username, $password);
    }

    catch (PDOException $e){
        $error = $e->getMessage();
    }
// end of database connect

    $user = $_POST['user'];
    $pass = $_POST['pass'];

    $query = 'SELECT * FROM users WHERE user = :user AND pass = :pass';

    $statement = $db->prepare($query);
    $statement->bindValue(':user', $user);
    $statement->bindValue(':pass', $pass);
    $statement->execute();
    $valid = ($statement->rowCount() == 1);
    $result = $statement->fetch();
    $statement->closeCursor();

    if ($valid){
        $greeting = $result['email'];
        $permit = ", login success";
    }

    else{
        $greeting = $user;
        $permit = ", invalid credentials";
    }
