Solve : really weird error... can php malfunction??

1.	Solve : really weird error... can php malfunction??
Answer» i am getting this error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/socialap/public_html/posters/include/rating_system/rate.php on line 1 from this code: connect.php has no errors... i've already tested it. Maybe i'm just BLIND, but i can't seem to FIND out why i would ever get this error!?!? thanks. include('../../connect.php'); $id = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['id']); $rating = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['rating']); if(empty($id) or empty($rating) or $rating > 5){ die("Invalid poster/no rating"); }I don't SEE any errors either. Line 1 is include('../../connect.php'); TRY removing the full STOPS and slashes. include("connect.php");
