I'm just learning php, and one of the first things in the book I'm
reading has me make this file-

</head>
<body>
<p>This is an HTML line
<p>
<?php
echo "This is a PHP line";
Phpinfo();
?>
</body>
</html>
I typed in in Notepad, saved it as test.php, ftp it to my ISP, then
viewed in a browser and got the following error-
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in
/home/fearofdo/public_html/test2.php on line 9
I asked my ISP if php/mysql was installed and turned on and configured
correctly, they said yes and that my code was wrong, that it had <93>
and <94where there should have been quotes, so they changed it and
now it works, creating the proper display.
This is all very odd to me...when I look at the original file that my
ISP said they corrected, there are now double quotes around the line
This is a PHP line. I created a new file from scratch, made sure it had
quotes, uploaded it and what do you know, I get the error message
again. When I view the file/code from my FTP client, it shows the
quotes, absolutely the correct code, so why is it not working?
I guess my question is, what the heck is happening? I'm not even sure
where to begin...how and why is the code getting changed, and if it is
getting changed, why does it not look to me like it has changed, and
why the <93>...where does that come from? How do I prevent this? 19  1925 
I don't know anything about <93or <94tags, but the code you posted
works fine on my setup.
You mentioned that you saved it as "test.php", but then said the error
occured at "/home/fearofdo/public_html/test2.php". Are you sure you
are looking at only one file? test.php vs. test2.php?

The only thing springs to mind is, what transfer mode are you using with
your FTP software. Are you using auto, binary or ASCII.
Your script works fine this end.

Don't know how this is happening in Notepad but it looks to me like it
could be smart quotes characters 91 and 92 instead of a single quote.
Characters (decimal) 93 and 94 are ] and ^

Yes, test2 was the second one I created, a duplicate of the first just
so I could see the error again. It created that error, yet when I view
it, it looks fine, it should work.

It's in binary mode.
Are you really using MS Notepad, or are you using something else? x'93'
and x'94' are the left and right quote symbols in some other programs
like Wordpad, but I haven't seen Notepad save them that way.
Also, you're transferring ascii data, so you should be using ascii
transfer mode. But that won't cause this problem.

That is true I guess...I haven't changed that setting in FTP for years,
and I've transfered all kinds of files without any problems before.

Try writing your file like this:
<!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>

<title>First PHP Script</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
</body>
</html>
That should return the PHP Info page.

I could do that, but that's not really the issue, the issue is, why is
what I'm doing not working in the first place, according to the book it
should work, and if it's not I don't really know how to proceed. This
is very discouraging for someone just trying to learn how to use PHP
and other web technology.

No, ASCII just affects the newline characters. But if you're uploading
the a Unix system you'll see them each line has an extra ^M in a Unix
editor such as vim.
I've tried it here on W2K and W2K3 Server, and I haven't been able to
duplicate it. But I find it easy to do in word processors.
It's a very interesting problem. Wish I had an answer for you.

Word is definitely the WRONG way to go. You need an ASCII text editor,
not a word processor.
In fact, WORD will give you exactly the problem you're seeing, even if
you save it in text format. Even the x'93' and x'94" characters.

Heaps of other code/text editors, my favourite for PHP is Crimson Editor,
syntax highlighting, built-in FTP. Google for it.

True, you do have to rename it. But renaming it can't screw up the file
- it's already been screwed up by Word.
I have no idea why notepad doesn't work for you. It always has for me.
As for other possibilities - try googling for
notepad replacement
A bunch of them come up, most of them free. Some people I know use
Notepad2. I personally like textpad, but that's a commercial product
(only $30, but worth it, IMHO).
