[FX.php List] PHP question

[Anders Monsen]

In that case I would refer to the error configuration link that Andrew  
sent. I tried using a colon instead of a semi-colon with one of my  
files, and got this message. Not sure how the php.ini file is set up  
though.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ':' in /[pathto_file/ 
filename].php on line 53

Thanks,
Anders
