fopen - T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING error

[ahs10]

i don't understand, with this example from php.net - $handle = fopen("http://www.example.com/", "r");

 

and i get - Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING

 

what's different about this server that i can't use fopen like i'm used to?

The cause of the error might be above this line. For example missing ".

[Garethp]

$Url = "http://www.example.com/";

$handle = fopen($Url, "r");

Is that all the code?

thank you for your help, yes that was all the code, just that one line gave me an error.  that's why i was so stumped.

 

i discovered it was because somehow there was bizarre character in my code.  i couldn't see the character in bbedit, but when i opened it in dw on a different system it appeared.  thanks again for your help.
