Basically, this is a script for spamming, I’m using it as a _prank_ on my friends, and I just can’t get it to work. * This is the Error I’m getting: * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in /home/content/07/9830807/html/wp- content/themes/easel/spampage.php on line 5 * And here is the code I’m using: * ```
