This may seem trivial or common knowledge, but it was something that I learned the hard way as a new PHP user. When entering PHP code into an HTML document, the proper syntax is: <?php . . . some php code . . . ?> The following will cause an "Unexpected T_FUNCTION" error when you load the HTML document into a browser: <? php . . . some php code . . . ?> IE: "<?php" must be entered WITHOUT SPACES! After spending more than 6 hours of checking every ;, checking syntax of every function and function call, as well as making sure all of the proper "require" and "include" were in place, I finally noticed that single space. I removed the space, and wallah! . . . the "Unexpected T_FUNCTION" error dissapeared and everthing worked dandy. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+29243 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+29243 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+29243
