Parse error on archive.php file!

I’m trying to set up an archive for my website. I used the tutorial at this link and all seems to be working well on the archives page that I set up:

http://rebeccajoneshowe.com/?page_id=181

However, when I click on a link to access the monthy or category archives, I get this message:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘>’ in /home/ressiemo/public_html/wp-content/themes/starkers/archive.php on line 1

This is the code on my archive.php file:

<?php<br>

/**<br>

 * Template Name: Archives Template<br>

 * Description: A Page Template that lets us created a dedicated Archives page<br>

 *<br>

 * @package WordPress<br>

 * @subpackage Twenty_Eleven<br>

 * @since Twenty Eleven 1.0<br>

 */<br>

<br>

get_header(); ?><br>

<br>

		<div id="primary"><br>

			<div id="content" role="main"><br>

                          <br>

		          <h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1><br>

                          <?php the_post(); the_content();  ?><br>

<br>

                          <!-- The main functions of our Archives.php template will go below here --><br>

<br>

                            <?php get_search_form(); ?><br>

		<br>

		            <h2>Archives by Month:</h2><br>

		            <ul><br>

			     <?php wp_get_archives(); ?><br>

		             </ul><br>

		<br>

			    <h2>Archives by Subject:</h2><br>

			    <ul><br>

			      <?php wp_list_categories(); ?><br>

		            </ul><br>

<br>

                          <!-- The main functions of our Archives.php template will go above here --><br>

<br>

			</div><!-- #content --><br>

		</div><!-- #primary --><br>

<br>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Unfortunately, I can’t seem to spot what the problem is on “line 1”, nor can I find any specific information online about how to fix my specific problem.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
