I have a website that is working fine on a remote server.

I have set up a testing server on my local machine. PHP admin, the database and everything seems to be working fine.

However when I open the website locally I get the following error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in E:\wamp\www\soccerwebs08\wildones\index.php on line 255

However there is no code on line 255, all of the code ends at line 253.

I read on one thread that it may be a problem with curly brackets but I dont think thats the problem because as I mentioned the website is working fine on a remote server. I also read that I may have to change one piece of code on a PHP.INI file however I cant find this file anywhere, could it be called something else?

Other pages do show up but have some of the code displayed. I'm not sure if this is a related or seperate problem. I've attched a picture of this problem.

If anyone has any ideas what may be the problem I would really appreciate a reply.

Thanks
Camster

    Could be a missing or incorrect include file, perhaps? In any case, there's no way for us to tell without the code.

        Perhaps the new host does not have the short_open_tag option enabled. If this is the case, you need to change your "<?" tags to "<?php" tags and change "<?=" to "<?php echo".

        PS: You could run a quick test file as follows to see what the setting is:

        <?php
echo ini_get('short_open_tag');
?>

          Gave it a try and now i get a different error

          Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSE in E:\wamp\www\soccerwebs08\cyclones\index.php on line 134

          Line 134 is this on the above code, I've placed line numbers to the left for reference only

          131	<?php
132			}
133		}
134	} else {
135		echo "No News";

          }
          }
          ?>

          Thanks
