Parse Error

[theemorgandorfe]

Im installing a mini-blogging script, that upon setup is supposed to create a MySQL database for it. Im running PHP5, and from what I can tell, the newest version of MySQL.

I can't figure out why this is coming up (probably because I don't do php) but when I look at the line with the error, I just don't see what its talking about.

Here is the error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '.' in /home4/mightyn0/public_html/scripts/easyblog_2_1/settings.php on line 3

Here is the code with line 3 highlighted:
<?php
error_reporting(0);
define('EBL_ROOT', '/home4/mightyn0/*******/'); // PATH TO ROOT FOLDER OF A BLOGdefine('EBL_URL', 'http://mighty****/'); // ROOT URL TO THE BLOG
define('EBL_INCLUDE', '/home4/mightyn0/*******/'); // PATH TO ebl-include FOLDER
define('EBL_SALT', 'dfsdfsdf.d?'); // ENTER SOME CHARACTERS FOR SECURITY
define('EBL_PREFIX', 'ebl_'); // ENTER THE PREFIX YOU USED TO CREATE DATABASE TABLES, OR LEAVE EMPTY
include EBL_INCLUDE.'site-settings.php';
define('EBL_THEME_ROOT', EBL_ROOT.'assets/themes/'.EBL_THEME.'/');
define('EBL_THEME_URL', EBL_URL.'assets/themes/'.EBL_THEME.'/');
require_once EBL_INCLUDE.'functions/base.php';
function stripslashesDeep($mixed) {
return is_array($mixed) ? array_map('stripslashesDeep', $mixed) : stripslashes($mixed);
}
?>

Hi, if the code is exactly as you have written, the move the 'define' statement fully onto the next line ...

<?php
error_reporting(0);
define('EBL_ROOT', '/home4/mightyn0/**********/'); // PATH TO ROOT FOLDER OF A BLOG
define('EBL_URL', 'http://mighty**********/'); // ROOT URL TO THE BLOG
define('EBL_INCLUDE', '/home4/mightyn0/***********/'); // PATH TO ebl-include FOLDER
define('EBL_SALT', 'dfsdfsdf.*d?'); // ENTER SOME CHARACTERS FOR SECURITY
define('EBL_PREFIX', 'ebl_'); // ENTER THE PREFIX YOU USED TO CREATE DATABASE TABLES, OR LEAVE EMPTY
include EBL_INCLUDE.'site-settings.php';
define('EBL_THEME_ROOT', EBL_ROOT.'assets/themes/'.EBL_THEME.'/');
define('EBL_THEME_URL', EBL_URL.'assets/themes/'.EBL_THEME.'/');
require_once EBL_INCLUDE.'functions/base.php';
function stripslashesDeep($mixed) {
return is_array($mixed) ? array_map('stripslashesDeep', $mixed) : stripslashes($mixed);
}
?>

PS In future posts please put the board

 tags around your code - makes it easier to read

Just tried it, and it doesn't work.

To use the php quotes do I just click the php wrap button?

Try turning on error_reporting by changing the line

error_reporting(0);

... to ...

error_reporting(E_ALL);

... and see what happens.
