Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in C:\WebServer\Abyss Web Server\htdocs\php test scripts\news.php on line 51 heres is the entire script. <?php /////////////////////////////////// // News Page // // Created by ACE - 2007 // /////////////////////////////////// //============================================================================================================================================================= // --------------------- // Configuration //---------------------- //============================================================================================================================================================= // Put in your websites name, example: Google $websitename = "Google"; // Put in what color you want your background to be.
