Welcome to WebmasterWorld! This is a great place to hang.

I don't see anything visible, but I have been nailed by "gremlins" before. These are either invisible, or "look alike" characters that don't fit the programming language's idea of proper code.

I use a text editor with a "zap gremlins" feature, and it has solved very similar issues for me before.

Definitely don't see anything, holla. Are you sure that this is the correct line in the script? Are you getting any other errors? This one seems "fishy" :)

[holla]

well i wondered with it saying checked what is it mento to be checking and have i messed that file up that is definatly the line, also where can i download that program?

PHP line numbers are not always accurate for that particular error. I often get errors reported for lines that close an improperly closed brace, etc.

The same "zap gremlins" text editor I use (BBEdit for Mac) also has some good code-balancing checks.

Oh, yeah. The #1 reason I get that error is because I didn't end a line with a semicolon. Drives me nuts, because sometimes I program in Python, and you never use semicolons in Python.

You may also want to carefully read the error, and make sure you have the right file. PHP is very nice about informing me of errors in included files.
