New to php and I screwed things up

Cool, thanks Test.

I was still about 3 hours away from even opening it

LMAO, not a problem. I love a challenge while at work. Currently programming DSL modems, watching "Revenge of the Nerds" (Internet TV), and viewing forums.

test --> brilliant... it worked. home page parses correctly

couple questions...

I opened both old and your new with notepad and wordpad (eww) and did not see extra quotes... what/where did I miss?

which brings me to 2: quite the noob question but what text editor do you use to edit code? Nvu obviously did not do so hot, and notepad gives me a headache... are there not free progs that highlight certain parts of syntax for ease of reading?

again, many thanks to you, as well as BliZZaRD for your efforts. very much appreciated

I couldn't help with the editor part, I only use notepad. I hear notepad plus is nice though.

Oh, and NEVER use wordpad, it is NOT a plain text editor. It will do similar things to your codes as that Nvu did, most likely worse.

Well, about 1/4 ways down the page is where you got the error. It was there that there were unescaped quotation marks. I fixed the first couple of lines with a single quote ( ' ), then I got tired of doing that so I simply escaped the double quotes ( " ).

An example of the old code is as follows:

$test = "<a href="test.html">Testing</a>";

That would cause errors. Here are two simple fixes:

$test = "<a href='test.html'>Testing</a>";

$test = "<a href=\"test.html\">Testing</a>";

Well, I usually use Notepad when editing stuff locally. But when I want to test the code and edit the code pretty much at the same time, I use PHPFileNavigator.

Hope this helps.
