Hi there guys,
I've looked through the forum, and I've seen this error being caused by invisible illegal characters, as well as unended include statements, but my problem is a little bit different.
1) If I post this in either of my servers, it works fine without a hitch.
2) If I post it on the lady's server that is trying to use it, she gets:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_INCLUDE in /home/dfezines/public_html/autopilotadvertising/ad/at/test_block4.php on line 1
Note that it's line 1 🙁
Here's the code:
<?php
include("config.php");
$limit = 4;
// cleaning function
function nicetrim($s, $length)
{
$str_to_count = html_entity_decode($s);
if (strlen($str_to_count) <= $length)
{
return $s;
}
$s2 = substr($str_to_count, 0, $length);
$s2 = substr($str_to_count, 0, $length - 3);
$s2 .= "...";
return $s2;
}
$query = "SELECT debug,use_highlight,block_width,block_scroll,block_showtitle,block_showdate,block_showauth,block_showauthweb,block_titlecount,block_textcount FROM ".$prefix."config";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die('MySQL error: ' . mysql_error() . '<hr/>' . $query);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$debug = $row['debug'];

I went through to make sure there was no white space behind anything as well as no new lines. I pasted it to a text file, viewed it and copied that to see if I could get rid of any illegal characters that might be hanging out in it. In spite of this the error persists (only on her server).
Can someone help me with what I might need to do to sniff the problem out?
thanks,
