Re: Error Reporing Questions with Mac

Your problem is undoubtably to do with the difference in line endings on mac/pc/unix. Basically, when PHP parses your file, it see's it all as one line, and is finding the error on LINE 1, which is correct. When the same file is saved on a unix or pc system, the line endings are different, and PHP recognises them. I'm using BBEdit Lite as a text editor on my Mac, and it has the option of saving the file in Mac, PC or Unix format, to combat this problem. Look for a simular feature in your text editor (try search for "file format", or "line endings" in your help files, or grab BBEdit ($) or BBEdit lite (!$) from bare bones software.
