| Parse error on plain HTML page
Hello
I have made a website and then uploaded it to my webspace. I tried to load the page and it comes up with the following error message...
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/firtytoo/public_html/portfolio.htm on line 1
The page is plain HTML so I looked at line one on that page (in bold) and this is what I found...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
I removed the line in bold and uploaded the page again and then it worked with no problems at all.
Is that first line causing problems with the web server? I tried in both IE and opera and did the same thing...
the web server is Apache 1.3.31 on some type of Linux.
Thanks,
Peter

remove the ?'s it should work then as well
Its not a critical tag, so removing it really wont' change anything.
I think its more for standards than anything.
What generated the code? This isn't hand written code.

Okay, I will try removing the question marks.
The code is done by dreamweaver, I cant be botherd to hand code these pages as it's too slow. Maybe is should make it database driven some time. | |

Well, it's not SLOW once you know what your doing  Hand coding teaches you things you won't learn otherwise. So, I never considered it a "bother"  | |

All sorted by the way, no more problems
I normally try to hand code web pages but sometimes I need a page done quickly and will use dreamweaver for that. | |
