[vox-tech] PHP Include File Problem

Mon, 9 Dec 2002 14:46:04 -0800 (PST)

Hi All,

I just started to learn PHP and need help with 
an include file. Below are 3 test files.

The 4th line of html_header, ie. the xml declaration,
creates a parse error:

   parse error in [snip]/html_header.php on line 4

When the line is removed, no parse error and the page 
displays with all vars populated properly.

Somehow I need to escape those pesky characters or ???

RedHat 7.2, PHP 4.0.6, Mozilla 0.9

Thanks,
Jim
