dcro2 Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I guess you're familiar with the heredoc syntax? Read this. echo <<<DELIMITER blah blah DELIMITER; In your case, the delimiter is __HTML_END For some reason, you have three spaces at the end of every line, but the starting and end lines of these heredoc statements cannot contain ANY whitespace after the delimiter. They must immediately be followed by a newline character. Remove the spaces at the end of the lines every time you use those delimiters. More specifically, at lines 15, 17, 23, 34, 39, and 66.
