Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘;’ [closed]

Here are the errors:

mysql_query( 'SELECT uid
            FROM hostedgals_cats c
            WHERE c.name LIKE \'' . $termnos . '\' or c.name like \'' . $termwiths . '\'' );
$getuidsfromcats = ;
mysql_query( 'SELECT cat_id
            FROM category_matches m
            WHERE m.name LIKE \'' . $termnos . '\' or  m.name LIKE \'' . $termwiths . '\'' );
$getuidsfrommatchcats = ;

You should be assigning those variables with the results of the calls, so it they should be:

$getuidsfromcats = mysql_query( 'SELECT uid
            FROM hostedgals_cats c
            WHERE c.name LIKE \'' . $termnos . '\' or c.name like \'' . $termwiths . '\'' );
$getuidsfrommatchcats = mysql_query( 'SELECT cat_id
            FROM category_matches m
            WHERE m.name LIKE \'' . $termnos . '\' or  m.name LIKE \'' . $termwiths . '\'' );
