[SOLVED] parse error

[j05hr]

On my local machine I keep getting parse error for my footer.  When I put it online, it doesn't show anything.

 

I've searched on google but not found a solution for it. 

 

The error message:

 

Parse error: parse error in C:\wamp\www\cms\includes\footer.php on line 9

 

<?php include("includes/header.php"); ?>
<div id="content">
<h2>Estate Agent</h2>
<p>We are one of the largest firms of independent Estate Agents in South Hertfordshire, with three offices covering BARNET, POTTERS BAR, BROOKMANS PARK and surrounding villages.</p>

<p>Estate Agents was established with the opening of our first office in Potters Bar, March 1988. Since then we have opened a further two offices located at Brookmans Park and Barnet. We are completely independent and therefore have no hidden alliances to any Banks, Building Societies or Insurance companies, as so often is the case with Estate Agents these days.</p>

</div>
<?php include("includes/footer.php"); ?>

 

Also I thought PHP isn't meant to show up in your source code?  I have HTML in the include header and footer, so is it right that the HTML shows in the source code?

whats on line 9 of footer.php?

 

The html will show up.

this is the code of footer.php

 

</div>
<div id="footer">Copyright 2007, Widget Corp</div>	
</body>
</html>
<?php
// 5. Close connection
if (isset($connection)) {
	mysql_close($connection);
?>

Think its missing the closing bracket, try this

</div>
<div id="footer">Copyright 2007, Widget Corp</div>	
</body>
</html>
<?php
// 5. Close connection
if (isset($connection)) {
	mysql_close($connection);
	}
?>

Thanks, that solved it, I was looking like mad for an error in the original code I posted. 

 

Also one last thing about when you view source, should the html come up if it's in include files? You can see it at www.sampleesateagent.eu

Glad it worked,

Yes, the html will show.

You wont see the php code but you will see the html.

 

The includes are just taking different pages and putting them together where you include them

But it wont hide the html
