I am attmepting to run a php scrip and this is the error i keep on getting. The scripts first 4 lines are below the errors. When errors are returned, does that mean that the error is local or in one of the include scripts? I have tried to reverse the order of the includes but when i do this the errors still are the same it seems. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in C:\WebSites\www\springsystems\Portal\processfiles.inc on line 4

This is the beginning of the file C:\WebSites\www\springsystems\Portal\processfiles.inc: .

<?
include ("./ASN_DBUtilities.php");
include ("./PO_Utilities.php");
include ("inc_FileManager.php");
include ("./ASN_FileManager.php");

One of the included files is screwing up. Perhaps it has a syntax error in it, or a non-closed PHP tag. The errors are then cascading down through the rest of your scripts.

Also check you are allowed to use 'short tags' (<? instead of <?php) by looking at your phpinfo() dump, because if not then the above will try and be parsed as XML, which you really don't want. As you're getting a parser error though, my money is on one of the includes being foobared.

If you have access to command-line PHP, try doing:

php -l ASN_DBUtilities.php

etc for each file, to see if there are any immediate parser errors.

Cheers,
