Hi
I am getting the following error message when I try to browse to the page whose code I have included below:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ')' in /home/vsniozee/public_html/page17/page17.php on line 115
where line 115 is:
$inputs = array('–', '—', ''', ''', '"', '"', '…', '[', ']');
Can anyone suggest what I could do to get this working?
Thanks
Nick
