Re: php4 brackets parse error

I don't have a space in the actual scripts, I just typed it like that below (sorry about the confusion). The point is the scripts worked perfectly under PHP3 and have not been touched apart from changing the file extension from .php3 to .php. Some scripts will display HTML ok, but as soon as (apparently) a round bracket appears, crash! The message is always 'parse error expecting "(" on line x', where x is the first line of php code to contain a round bracket. I did nothing unusual in my configuration, just --with-mysql --with-apxs --enable-track-vars Anyway, it *is* pretty weird and pretty annoying. _______________________________ Why do you have a space in phpinfo() between the brackets ?
