 * Hello!
    Im currently running wp 1.5 and the classic theme. Now, in the header
   i wanna insert the following script;
 * <?php
      if(!isset($_COOKIE[“din_kana”])) {   echo ‘<img src=”images/new.jpg”
   >’;   setcookie(“din_kana”, TRUE, time()+3600); } else {   echo ‘<img src=”
   images/visited.jpg”>’; }   ?>
 * As you may understand, i want to show the users one image first time they enter,
   and then show’em another later. But all i get is:
 * Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_IF in /customers/gosse.se/gosse.se/httpd.
   www/artikel/wp-content/themes/classic/header.php on line 29
 * Can anybody help out please?
 * Thanks
    mårten, sweden

 * Try inserting your code after the php header string. Whats the address to your
   website? What file are you trying to insert the code in? In your index or header
   file?
