Maq Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 That error usually indicates that you're missing a curly bracket. This could also be caused if you DO NOT have short_tags enabled. Check in your php.ini or by simply placing phpinfo() in a php file to check. This is a great example of why NOT to use short_tags.

So if it is missing a curly bracket does that mean i have to go through it and find where it should be? or will enabling short_tags fix the issue?

Thanks again You should really try to avoid using short_tags due to portability issues but I would temporarily enable them to see if that's the issue, then you could simply do a find/replace.
