Another newbie type question..

Trying to get things to work with PHP4, I seem to run into a brick wall with almost everything I try.

One thing which comes up often when I try to access a .php page in the browser is:
"Parse error: parse error in photogallery-config.php on line 24" Line 24 in this case contained only ");" (without the quotes).

It could be many things maybe you haven't closed you " or perhaps you've missed a ; somewhere without seeing your code it is impossible to know what is wrong.

Another thing to check would be a situation where characters need to be escaped. An example would be in the html <body bgcolor="red">, if you want to echo it in php you need to write it as follows:
echo "<body bgcolor=\"red\">";

Hope that helps

Thanks for the replies (John & Scott), I think my problem is to do with Apachie or PHP(4) setup? because I get similar errors to this with almost every php coded stuff I try, I'm no coder myself so I'm using other peoples stuff (in this instance it's a Photogallery.
This is the section giving me the error in this case (last line), this script is called from another php and the only output I get in the browser is the error previously posted:
$languages = array(
"en" => array(
"short" => "en", // must be same as array handle!!!
"full" => "English"
),
"fi" => array(
"short" => "fi",
"full" => "Suomi"
),
);

I think you'll find that your problem is the last coma, just before );. Remove that any every should work.

Thank you John, now I know it's not a configuration problem (it worked!!)

Yahoo! I can proceed with something, it's not the one I wanted to use but it is something at least, the help is appreciated!
