I looked at the code you posted, even tested it locally with the exception commenting out the include of config.php, of course. No errors. So either you posted the wrong code or fixed it by now. Or look in config.php for an HTML tag that isn't closed properly.

There are other issues with your code, but none that caused that error. In general, create more technically compliant HTML wrapping ' or " around tag attributes, reduce the complexity of ( and ) in your if's, and avoid the user of center tag - wrap a div around the text you want to center, give it a class name and create a style for that class which uses "text-align: center;" instead. Or, old school, add align='center' to the P tags which should also be closed, btw.

I checked the config.php but all seems to be ok but I am now receiving a syntax error message re line 15 and not 14?

Code does not change itself, so if you inserted a removed a line somewhere, it changed the error location obviously. I suggest you use an editor with code view (each line numbered) and syntax highlighting. Then if you can't figure it out, just copy/paste 3-4 lines before and after 15 here (just those) and we'll help you.

[/B][COLOR=Black]I see [B]no[/B] [B]errors[/B] in any of those lines, sorry.

I still see excessive use of ( and ) in the if statement, but it's legal code. I see constants being referenced so make sure they're defined and set properly elsewhere in your code. I still see the use of center tag.

I could be missing something obvious, but nothing yet to generate any syntax errors. Anyone else following seeing something I'm not with respect to errors?

I don't see any errors either.

@SrWebDeveloperJan 25.2010 — #At this point I will attribute said issue to one of two possibilities:

One: The editor is changing source or inserting newlines where it should not be (chopping lines, maybe) due to misconfig or weird issue with copy/paste embedding of chars or the user is uploading source as binary instead of ascii or something like that, i.e. encoding issues. I already hinted at this in a previous reply about the editor, this expands on that.

Two: One of us is psychotic.
