I just uploaded all of the files necessary to install Pixelpost however I'm encountering an error I can't seem to figure out how to fix. When I pulled up the /admin/install.php file on my site, I get the following note: "Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/alechost/public_html/pixelpost/includes/pixelpost.php on line 38".

I'm not a code person, so when I pulled up the file in Dreamweaver, line 38 was blank. Any ideas on how to fix this error (probably something very easy, but for a non-coder like me it's perplexing)?

Many thanks,
Alec:confused:

$pixelpost_db_host = "change_me"; // database host, often "localhost"
$pixelpost_db_user = "change_me"; // database user
$pixelpost_db_pass = "change_me"; // database user password
$pixelpost_db_pixelpost = "change_me"; // database

verify the changes you made using a plain text editor, not Dreamweaver.
for first time installations, "change_me" should be the only fields you will need to alter. be careful fo the quotation marks and semi-colons.
