Troubleshooting “parse error, unexpected '>'” error [closed]

Answer 1

You are not closing the quotes :

echo "

Here is a little about me. I am a mother of twin girls who are 9 ";

Answer 2

The syntax of your file is wrong. The following example should fix it, however, the message just means that part of your output is indeed code because you missed to properly use the " quotes around strings. Keep in mind that strings work over multiple lines as well, so this is probably easier to understand:

<?php
session_start();
include ("include/header.php");
if (!isset($_SESSION['name']))
{
  header("Location:includeindex.php");
  exit;
} else {
  TopNavigation("about Me -ECA236","About Me",$_SESSION['name']);
  echo "
    <p>Here is a little about me. I am a mother of twin girls who are 9 </p>
    <p>I been married for 5 years but been with my husband for 11 years </p>
    <p>I am attending college for Computer Programming and Database Mangament      </p>
    <p>After I get done with this degree I am want to go back for Web Design </p>
    <p>since half my classes are web design now. I enjoy camping,bon fires and </p>
    <p>playing video games, hanging out with friends and family.</p>
    " # string ends here
    ;
  Footer();
}
?>

Or even better as this is PHP:

<?php
session_start();
include ("include/header.php");
if (!isset($_SESSION['name']))
{
  header("Location:includeindex.php");
  exit;
} else {
  TopNavigation("about Me -ECA236","About Me",$_SESSION['name']);
  ?>
    <p>Here is a little about me. I am a mother of twin girls who are 9 </p>
    <p>I been married for 5 years but been with my husband for 11 years </p>
    <p>I am attending college for Computer Programming and Database Mangament</p>
    <p>After I get done with this degree I am want to go back for Web Design </p>
    <p>since half my classes are web design now. I enjoy camping,bon fires and </p>
    <p>playing video games, hanging out with friends and family.</p>
  <?php
  Footer();
}
?>

Answer 3

You need to add a quote "; to the end of your echo lines
