This is not a documentation issue. Read this again before you respond so quickly.

Please read this manual page carefully:

Changed to Documentation problem as I couldn't
find the incompatibilities list (for PHP 3 vs. PHP 4)
from the manual.

Please take a look at this: (php3)
http://zeraim.torah.org/~cblack/testdir/index.php3
http://zeraim.torah.org/~cblack/testdir/index.php3?sid=3
Now, try these: (php4)
http://terumah.teamgenesis.com/~cblack/index.php3
http://terumah.teamgenesis.com/~cblack/index.php3?sid=2
Precisely the same code. PHP on zeraim incorporates the header & footer and then parses all as
one, while on terumah it is attempting to parse the header & footer as if they were independent
of the file into which they are included.
Or in other words, PHP3 used to incorporate a 'require()ed' file without doing any work on
it, and then parsed the whole thing together. So you could have an IF statement in the header [ if
(...) { ] that ended in the footer [ } ].
No longer! That's why the same code is generating parse errors.
