 * After getting to the screen “All right, sparky! You’ve made it through this part
   of the installation. WordPress can now communicate with your database. If you’re
   ready, time now to run the install.” I click “Run the Install” and get this:
 * PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘.’ in E:\USERS\username\www\blog\wp-
   includes\user.php on line 509
 * Where have I gone wrong?
