Errors after having completed the blog with comments tut.

Post by AdzProductions »

Below are all of the errors I am getting:

"Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /usr/local/www/project/A._____/website + blog/blog/blog_post.php on line 35"

"Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /usr/local/www/project/A._____/website + blog/blog/blog_list.php on line 18"

"Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')' in /usr/local/www/project/A.Saberton/website + blog/blog/core/inc/comments.inc.php on line 35"

And I am sure there are a few more..

I have attached my whole code for the programmer and I would be immensely thankful if someone is able to fix any/all of the errors and possibly let me know where I went wrong, I am sure there is very little to do to fix this however as an immature programmer I cannot find a solution.. many thanks and I look forward to hearing from you!.

Instead of a zip file, please copy and paste all of your code here inside php syntax tags,
[syntax=text][syntax=php][/syntax][/syntax]
and I will do my best to assist you in solving this.
