unexpected T_STRING

[Anne Bos]

After uploading a php file I got back the error message 'unexpected
T_STRING on line 1'.
Line 1 is <?php session_start() ?>.
The servers php version is 5.2.1.

By the way, what is a T_STRING. I can't find that on php sites.

Any suggestion is appreciated.

try adding a ; behind session_start().
T_STRING means, that the parser found a string instead of whatever it
expected. i don't know why it's called T_STRING.

A common reason for this is that you left off the semi-colon at the end of
the previous sentence. (This has happened to me more frequently lately as I
have bouncing between VB.NET and PHP development :-) )

Aren't you missing something - like maybe a semicolon? :-)

T_STRING AFAIK is just a non-operator, non-numeric value. I've never
seen a definition of it, either - but never really looked for it. Too
many years coding C/C++ - I'm use to cryptic messages :-)

Sorry, the ; is there. I should have copypasted.
So line 1 is <?php session_star(); ?>
Thank you so far.

Stupid me. session_start(); of course.

This shouldn't cause the error you indicate. Is this the first thing in
your page? (It looks like it - but I have to ask).

This shouldn't cause the error you indicate. Is this the first thing in
your page? (It looks like it - but I have to ask).

Yes, it is
Then the head of a html-code (some 70 lines)
The body also first contains some html
then follows
<? php
$conn = connect();
$showrecs = 15;
$pagerange = 10;
and a lot more.
If the error is not in line 1 it should be here I guess.
Should I have a closer look to the function connect()?

Probably... what the heck is it?

If this second snippet is copy-paste:
try removing the space between the ? and php ;-)

This shouldn't cause a problem on line 1. An error may be indicated
later in the file, but not before the error occurs.

Are you sure you copy/pasted this exactly as it appears? Other than the
missing semicolon, there's no problem.

Unless you have some invisible text on there somewhere which isn't pasting.

Further down the page. I wouldn't think it should affect line 1,
though. If anything, I would expect it to be just ignored as non-php code.
