I got a site with Tripod because they are free and you can use PHP. I made a file (index.php) and tested the PHP by using pyro's script from another thread. When I went to the page, it said "Parse error: parse error in index.php on line 1". What is wrong?

It's because you have an XML declaration there too, and your server has short tags enabled (i.g. you can write <? in stead of <?php). So yuo need to replace the XML declaration with:


<?php echo ('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>'); ?>
