That is a script i found. i put it in a php box but then i also have this:

Code Select Expand

echo "Random quote for is: ".show_rand_quotes($text);

how do i need to get this set up so it does set up for the PHP block

and this is what the error message says:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '>' in /home/georgeli/public_html/smf/Sources/Load.php(1609) : eval()'d code(34) : eval()'d code on line 1

Edited the text above. I forgot to escape some characters. I'm no PHP guru, but thats the way I think it should look.
