template troubles

curlious

I'm a newbie expermenting with templates.
Here is the php file i'm having trouble with:
<?php
include "template.inc";
//eventually replace with dblookup
$tit = "Curlious Links";
$headline="Links-let's travel the world!";
$head_image="";
$main_content="<b>Template Test</b>";
$foot="Thankyou! Good bye!"
$t = new Template("./templates/");
// create a template object named $t
$t->set_file("Links","main.ihtml");
// set MyFileHandle links = our template file
// set template variables
$t->set_var("tit",$my_color);
$t->set_var("headline",$headline);
$t->set_var("head_image",$head_image);
$t->set_var("main_content",$main_content);
$t->set_var("foot",$foot);
// set template variable MyOutput = parsed file
$t->parse("MyOutput","MyFileHandle");
// output the value of MyOutput (our parsed data)

$t->p("MyOutput");
?>

I get the error😛arse error: parse error in /web/sites/176/curlious/www.curlious.f2s.com/links.php on line 9
which I believe is at the new Template line
I have a directory templates with main.ihtml file is the path setup wrong?

look at this line:

$foot = "Thankyou! Good bye!";

in your script you are missing the semi-colon at the end of the line.

Thanks, these little things whew, I'll let you know if that solves the problem.

I am now getting the following errors:
Warning: open_basedir restriction in effect. File is in wrong directory in /web/sites/176/curlious/www.curlious.f2s.com/links.php on line 2

Warning: Failed opening 'template.inc' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /web/sites/176/curlious/www.curlious.f2s.com/links.php on line 2

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: template in /web/sites/176/curlious/www.curlious.f2s.com/links.php on line 9

Is this because of my website host? It is behind a firewall. Is it a configuration problem with the server? I have asked the server the same question. It's at http://www.f2s.com and my site is http://www.curlious.f2s.com
the test php http://www.curlious.f2s.com/links.php
is in the sites root directory and the templates are in a templates directory under the root.

from the error message it looks as though the file is either not in the directory you think it is, or the file name you think it is is different. check to make sure both of these are okay.

Thanks for the help chris. I suspect the webserver my sight is hosted on doesn't support the PHPLib and that I will have to use fast templates instead.
