es as beaver6813 states post your code that is in windowsdoc.php and we will be able to help, without seeing code it is somewhat difficult to know what you have done. It is strange however that the error is on line 1.

I've occasionally cause that error by missing out the '.' when using a variable in the middle of a string. So that is likely to be the cause if it is on line 1.

But that would cause an error on line 2.

For example the scenario you propose is as follows (although not using a variable):-

PHP Code:

  <?php

echo "test" "test";

?>

This produces the following error:-

Quote:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in PHPDocument1 on line 2

php sees <?PHP as line 1

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/programming/296823-parse-error.html

PHP Code:

  <?php

echo "test" "test";

?>

Not if it was like this, I assume:

PHP Code:

<?php echo "test" "test"; ?>

Edit: Another reason for me to refresh, beaten to it heh.

It's not uncommon for people to just do this:

PHP Code:

<?php $this =...

It shouldn't be done, but i've seen it - It would explain the line 1 error anyway.

Perhaps we should just wait for the code

Just checked and you are right. I was personally expecting it to say it was on line 2 still as php does not tend to care about white space.
