Sir Mildred Pierce Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I'm a total n00b to this and I'm trying out "PHP & MySQL for Dummies". The first php file it tells me to test out doesn't seem to work on my dreamhost server. here's the file: <html> <head> <title>PHP Test</title> </head> <body> <p>This is an HTML line <p> <?php echo “This is a PHP line”; phpinfo(); ?> </body></html> testing the file at http://popamericana.com/test.php gives me this: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/.ballou/popamericana/popamericana.com/test.php on line 8 well, this isn't a very promising start... do I need to do something on my server to get this working?

Sir Mildred Pierce Posted May 16, 2007 Author Share Posted May 16, 2007 I figured out the problem. I was using the wrong kind of quotes. I was using “ and ” instead of ".
