PHP Script is not working

Anon

I have a pretty simple PHP script that I am developing.
Any page on my site, located at www.sesgalaxy.f2s.com, contains the following code:
<? require '/web/sites/279/sesgalaxy/www.sesgalaxy.f2s.com/r/brain.php';
siteHeader("NameOfPage");
?>

<?
siteFooter();
?>

The contents of the brain.php are:

<?php
function make_link ($url, $linktext=false, $target=false) {
return sprintf("<a href=\"%s\"%s%s>%s</a>",
$url,
($target ? ' target="'.$target.'"' : ''),
($linktext ? $linktext : $url)
);
}
function print_link($url, $linktext=false, $target=false) {
echo make_link($url, $linktext, $target);
}

function line($true="1") {
if (!$true) {
return '<table height=2 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width="100%" border=0 bgcolor="#000033"><tbody><tr><td></td></tr></tbody></table>';
}

function siteHeader($title=""){
echo $title;

?>
<head><title>Los Banos Online - <? if ($title) echo "$title";?></title>
<META name="description" content="Los Banos City Website. A tourists guide to Los Banos, city news and events, the community of Los Banos online hub.">
<META name="keywords" content="los banos, city, california, ca, education, state, department, government, merced, county">
<META name="robots" content="index,follow">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css.css" type="text/css">
</head>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" link="#FFFFFF" vlink="#FFFFFF">
<?php
}

function siteFooter() {
echo "</body>";
}

===============================
Now, for some odd reason, I try to open up www.sesgalaxy.f2s.com/delta.php (delta.php would contain the first coding, not the brains)in my browser, and I get two error messages.
/web/sites/279/sesgalaxy/www.sesgalaxy.f2s.com/
Parse error: parse error in /web/sites/279/sesgalaxy/www.sesgalaxy.f2s.com/r/brain.php on line 34

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: commonheader() in /web/sites/279/sesgalaxy/www.sesgalaxy.f2s.com/delta.php on line 3

Why does this happen???

Please help,

Well, it seems to me that somewhere in brain.php you have no function called "commonheader" and the function is called from a file used in conjunction with brain.php and delta.php.

What you could do : Search for the word "commonheader" in the files you think is involved (or maybe all you files in your project)

BTW. : A file that includes another file might raise an error, when the included file fails!

First thing;

You're missing the closing PHP tag in brain.php which could be causing the parse error. Second thing is that a parse error in an included file will cause chain barfing all the way down the line.

I also can't see a reference to a function called 'commonheader' in your brain.php, which is the general tenet of the second complaint.
