I'm just learning php, and one of the first things in the book I'm
reading has me make this file-
<html>
<head>
<title>PHP Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>This is an HTML line
<p>
<?php
echo "This is a PHP line";
Phpinfo();
?>
</body>
</html>
I typed in in Notepad, saved it as test.php, ftp it to my ISP, then
viewed in a browser and got the following error-
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in
/home/fearofdo/public_html/test2.php on line 9
I asked my ISP if php/mysql was installed and turned on and configured
correctly, they said yes and that my code was wrong, that it had <93>
and <94> where there should have been quotes, so they changed it and
now it works, creating the proper display.
This is all very odd to me...when I look at the original file that my
ISP said they corrected, there are now double quotes around the line
This is a PHP line. I created a new file from scratch, made sure it had
quotes, uploaded it and what do you know, I get the error message
again. When I view the file/code from my FTP client, it shows the
quotes, absolutely the correct code, so why is it not working?
I guess my question is, what the heck is happening? I'm not even sure
where to begin...how and why is the code getting changed, and if it is
getting changed, why does it not look to me like it has changed, and
why the <93>...where does that come from? How do I prevent this?
