Character positioning:

PHP

    $sql = "SELECT count (tilam_status)
...
    WHERE `tilam_status` = 'ada';"
                                ^
                                ^
    $result = mysqli_query($conn, $sql);

The ending semicolon is inside the string, rather than outside:

PHP

    $sql = "SELECT count (tilam_status)
...
    WHERE `tilam_status` = 'ada'";
                                 ^
                                 ^
    $result = mysqli_query($conn, $sql);

You should expect to get syntax errors every day, probably many times a day while you are coding - we all do regardless of how much experience we have! Sometimes, we misspell a variable, or a keyword; sometimes we forget to close a string or a code block. Sometimes the cat walks over your keyboard and types something really weird. Sometimes we just forget how many parameters a method call needs.

We all make mistakes.

And because we all do it, we all have to fix syntax errors - and it's a lot quicker to learn how and fix them yourself than to wait for someone else to fix them for you! So invest a little time in learning how to read error messages, and how to interpret your code as written in the light of what the compiler is telling you is wrong - it really is trying to be helpful!

So read this: How to Write Code to Solve a Problem, A Beginner's Guide Part 2: Syntax Errors[^] - it should help you next time you get a problem like this!

Quote:

SQL

SELECT count (tilam_status)
As Tilam Status
FROM `akuan`
...

You've tried to give your result column a name which contains a space. That's not a valid SQL identifier.
MySQL :: MySQL 8.0 Reference Manual :: 9.2 Schema Object Names[^]

Either change the name of your result column:

SQL

As TilamStatusCount

or quote the column name:

SQL

As `Tilam Status`
