Parse error

[Anon]

I'd like to know why I'm getting a parse error on a scalar declaration statement like this.

 $hostname = "foo"; or
 $hostname = foo;

[Anon]

try this ...

$hostname == foo;

Interesting theory. But it doesn't work.
I'm also getting "+ShellExecute return 31"
When I execute the the php3 page with the
WS_FTP Pro. Can anyone help solve this problem. Do I need to install php3 on my computer to make real php3 pages? The host my company hired uses php3 and I was wondering if I need to do this.

I solved the problem by removing the PHP from the <? line. Apparently, you don't need that.
