Ok...this is so freakin frustrating!

now to the point: a link to this page can be found here:

I get the same parse error that frandalla got. Only, I've commented every piece of PHP code and it still gives me this error. Logically, as I believe it there should be absolutely NO php code that the server can execute, therefore there should be absolutely NO error. I am beginning to believe that this is something bigger than just this one file.
I am running on a UNIX server via freehostia.com.
I have it set up to run PHP 5 (which revision, it won't tell)
I originally found these forums via google:
Whats the meaning of Parse Error.
I know what it means (its pretty simple), its finding the error that is the problem. There are only three files in the directory:
Code:
index.php 'The deafault page
Register.php 'The registration page
error.html 'The error page if something was called incorrectly (e.g. IO.File.Exist(URL) = False)
If this doesn't work, I have other solutions. My next objective is to create a new .php file and piece by piece, re-create the file and see when the error pops up. If that doesn't work, I'm going to phpbbnow.com |
