Question

Sample Code:

Config.php:
class Config {
    public $serverIP = "1.1.1.10";
}

DB.php:
require_once "/home/mysite/PHP/Config.php";
class DB extends Config {
    //DB related functions here..
}

research.php:
require_once "/home/mysite/PHP/DB.php";
class research extends DB {
    // Using DB functions to retrieve information from the research tables.
}

On executing the research.php file, I am getting an error message saying:

 "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';', expecting T_FUNCTION in /home/mysite/PHP/research.php on line 1". 

I have checked every possibility that may cause this error. But I couldn’t fix it. I have checked few possibilities such as require_once("filepath"); missing braces, etc…

Answer 1

This is on line 1, which you didn’t post

Be sure you have space between <?php and first code
