Question

I have downloaded a php web application(Studip). When I go to index.php, I get the following error:


Parse error: syntax error, unexpected end of file in /var/www/html/studip/public/index.php on line 248

I have checked the syntax, there is no syntax error. Is there anything else that causes this error?

Here is the file:

Does your server support short open tags ? Check your ini. If it doesn’t, enable them. If you can’t then replace <? with <?php
