hello everyone,

i would be very happy if anyone could supply me with a hint:

i am new to PHP and have begun setting up a development environment on my PC. i installed XAMPP 1.8.0 and wished to test whether PHP is installed and working. i created a test file in the root folder, htdocs and executed it by typing localhost/test.php in the browser url field.

The browser returns the following message:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '>' in C:\xampp\htdocs\test.php on line 6

the test code which i entered is a standard test code:

<html>
<head><title>PHP Test</title></head>
<body>
This is an HTML line
<?php
echo “This is a PHP line”;
phpinfo();
?>
</body></html>

any advice would be greatly helpful. thank you.

It is a problem in your quotation marks on this line

Code: Select all: echo “This is a PHP line”;

it should be

Code: Select all: echo "This is a PHP line";
