Parse error

[mfries]

The error is given when attempting to enter my admin page:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /opt/lampp/htdocs/painting/admin/includes/configure.php on line 16

 

The code is as follows:

Line 16 seems innocent enough: define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://localhost');

No mismatched quotes etc. Any suggestions?

 

By the way, this is not a "using the online editor issue', this is on my test system, and I am using vi as an editor.

 

Thanks,

Mike

It's missing the "shebang" at the very top of the file, as well as the beginning /* to comment out the general information there. Put this at the very top of your file:
