Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/mydomain/public_html/index.html on line 1

This is the error I get on any site I have published through my host that iWeb created the site. Can some one point me in the right direction as to why I would get this error from anything iWeb created?

My WordPress site is fine, but I don't have anything else up for testing.

That's an error from PHP. Mind giving a code sample?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><title></title><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url= Welcome.html" /></head><body></body></html>

If I manually navigate to "Welcome.html" I get the same error. :\

Here's the code for "Welcome.html"

Does it happen when you leave out the <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> line?

Ok, so that worked. Why would iWeb put something like that in the code if it isn't going to work? So much for "it just works." :\

iWeb is doing the right thing. Your webhost apparently has a broken PHP configuration.

Great, so what do I ask them? "Some one on my forums said your stuff was broken?" :D

Ask them:

- Why is the server trying to parse .html files as PHP files?
- Why is the server trying to parse <?xml ?> as <?php ?>?

Ask them to turn off allowing PHP parsing to occur between <? ?>, and to only have it occur between <?php ?>. That might do the trick.

They're running PHPSuExec, not sure if that would affect this.

Ask them to turn off allowing PHP parsing to occur between <? ?>, and to only have it occur between <?php ?>. That might do the trick.

Hope they don't do that on my server, too. All my scripts use <? ?>

I sent a trouble ticket in to see what it comes back with. Thanks for the input guys. I'll post my results here when they come in.

My first response came in:
I do not believe this should be occurring, can you provide a link to a page that is doing it, so we can troubleshoot further?

So I sent him a copy of index.html for all three of my domains and a description of how one only forwards to the other and one is standalone.....

New reply:
I will ask an admin to investigate this

Regards,

Phil

It's fixed. This morning I awoke to this:
We have solved the issue. The server was not able to parse the .html file. We have attached the snapshot of the three sites resolving.
Please inform us if you have any further issues.

Thanks for your help guys. I wouldn't have know who's issue it was otherwise. I kept uploading iWeb pages trying to get it right when I knew it *used* to work. :)
