Parse Error on line 1?

[Selaiah]

When i try to preview a PHP Article i get:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '<' in /
portal/httpdocs/Sources/Load.php(1733) : eval()'d code(231) : eval()'d code on line 1

tried 2 different themes. The rest of the forum seems to be working perfectly. Any idea?

You need to leave out the <?php and the closing one when using php in a block

Thanks for the swift reply.

Strangely it already happens tho when i just type in "123" ?

What, exactly, is the code in your article?

If it starts with

Code Select Expand


<?php


you need to get rid of that, like Inge Jones said. Also, the normal ending

Code Select Expand


?>


in php files.

If your code is

Code Select Expand


123


that won't work, either, because that is not php code. What will work is something like

Code Select Expand


echo '123';
