I think you missed, mysql_query() part, and BTW this (Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in C:\wamp\www\test\hi.php on line 16) is PHP error, not mySQL. Your code should look like:

            $conn=mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
            if(!($conn)) die("could not connect");
 
            $db=mysql_select_db("asdf");
            if(!($db)) die("database not found");
            mysql_query("LOAD DATA INFILE 'D:\backup\institutes.csv' INTO TABLE 'inst';", $conn);
