Doing a search on php.net for T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING comes up with this page:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/tokens.php This then leads to: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php#language.types.string .syntax I have no idea how to interpret all this, but try changing <?php to just <? and see how that goes.

I just installed the php 4.2.1 from entropy.ch and when running this script: <?php $test = "just about anything"; echo "this was justa test"; ?> I get this error: Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /Library/WebServer/Documents/west.php on line 3 Anyone know what *that* is about? -Josh -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
