Parse Error with doctype

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 by admin

I'm getting a parse error with this simple code. I don't get it. It worked one time then when I reloaded the page in FF the code throws this parse error.
Parse error: parse error in C:wampwwwbmreader.php on line 7
Line 7 is where the HTML Doctype line begins. Thanks in advance. Here is the code.

Code: [Select]<?php

// This makes sure that the content is sent to the browser as text/html and the UTF-8 character set (since we didn't change it).
$feed->handle_content_type();


// Let's begin our XHTML webpage code. The DOCTYPE is supposed to be the very first thing, so we'll keep it on the same line as the closing-PHP tag.>
