Parse error?

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /site/stuff/goes/here/chat.php on line 32

and here is the script (on line 32):

<?php
$footer="<p align=\"center\"><font color=\"#000000\">".
"© mystuffwashere 2003<font></p></body></html>;
?>

what does that mean?

What are you trying to do? Print this to screen? If so you'd have to do something like this:

<?

$footer="<p align=center><font color=#000000>© mystuffwashere 2003</font></p>
        </body></html>";

?>

<? echo $footer; ?>

Hope that helps. 😃

tutorial...I am not even sure I am doing it right... because I am not sure if I put all the code in chat.php...here is my chat.php file:

<!-Input form-!>
<form action="chat.php" method="post">
Name: <input type="text" name="name"><br>
Mesage: <input type="text" namr="message"<br>
<input type="submit" value="Send">
</form>
<!-End of input form-!>

<!-Reads Messages-!>
<?php
$message_array=file("messages.html");

for ($counter = 1; $counter<10; $couter++){
$old_messages .= $message_array[$counter];
}
?>

<!-Tells what then new messages are!->
<?php
$new_message="$name : $message<br>\n";
?>

<!-header info-!>
<?php
$header ="<html><head><meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content\"8\">".
"<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex\"></head>".
"<body bgcolor=\"#000000\" text=\"#ffffff\"\n;
?>

<!-footer info-!>

<?php
$footer = "<p align=\"center\"><font color=\"#000000\">".
"© mystuffwashere</font></p></body></html>
?>

<?php
$open_file=fopen("messages.html","w");

fputs($open_file, $header);

fputs($open_file, stripslashes($new_message));

fputs($open_file, $old_messages);

fputs($open_file, $footer);

fclose($open_file);

?>

Look at the colors. See all the red? It means you are not closing your strings. The first error is in the $hearder= statement. It's missing a "

And there is several more. See if you can't get hold of a color coded editor.
