I log into a linux box, and use the vi editor (actually I use 'view', which is vi but without the color highlighting which is somewhat hard to see on some colors, such as blue on a black screen). As I said, get one. There are loads of free editors for all operating systems that do syntax highlighting for PHP. Get one, load the file up in that and have a look. -Stuart > From: Stuart Dallas [mailto:stuart@xxxxxxxx] > Sent: Thu 10/13/2011 1:43 PM > To: David Savage > Cc: PHP General > Subject: Re: FW: parse error > > Please include the list when replying. > > On 13 Oct 2011, at 19:44, David Savage wrote: > >> ok thanks for the quick reply. Still trying to figure out the line that is causing the problem above that line 1050....I'm a novice at php, and currently use it just for console programming, though I want to eventually learn how to place html code in it, and make it simpler to run this program in a web browser, instead of by the command line. > > Are you using an editor that does syntax highlighting? If not, find one and load up the file. If you have an unterminated string or similar error, the highlighting should tell you where that problem is. > > -Stuart > >> From: Stuart Dallas [mailto:stuart@xxxxxxxx] >> Sent: Thu 10/13/2011 12:04 PM >> To: David Savage >> Cc: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx >> Subject: Re: FW: parse error >> >> On 13 Oct 2011, at 18:06, David Savage wrote: >> >> > I'm sorry....I need help with php v. 4.3.9 (cgi).

I've been pulling my hair out (figuratively speaking) trying to understand why the compiler sees this line as a problem.
