Hi, I have a php file that holds all my phph "functions" and for some reason I get this error: "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/zyco/public_html/newlayout/func.php on line 51"  when I use this code:

Why are you echoing you're entire page?!

If you must echo the entire thing, at least use Heredoc, but you shouldn't have to.  Just close the PHP tags before your HTML and open them back up again afterwards, and when needed inside the file.

i echo everything
I hate breaking in and out of php
[/quote]

It is much slower to echo everything instead of switching to HTML. You should only echo lines that have dynamic content. Also, it will be slower to echo lines that are double-quoted compared to single-quoted, as the PHP parser has to check the line to see if anything needs interpolating first. Having said that I am guilty of echoing static lines when they are in the middle of a bunch of lines with dynamic content, just purely for neatness' sake.
