 * Hi,
 * I’ve had an odd problem occur. I went to view my site this morning and, instead
   of the home page, was greeted with:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_LNUMBER in […..]/wp-content/themes/weaver/
   header.php on line 8
 * (the […] is obviously just to not bore you with the full file root)
 * I’ve searched the forum for other parse errors with this issue, but none of them
   offer me a solution.
 * The first 8 lines of my weaver/header.php are
 *  1 <?php
    2 /** 3 * The Header for our theme. 4 * 5 * Displays all of the <head
   > section and everything up till <div id=”main”> 6 * 7 */ 8 ?><!DOCTYPE html>
 * I have never edited these. Last night I did edit this file lower down after running
   theme-check plugin and being told there was a stray numeral in a line I had added
   to header.php a month ago to get the favicon to appear. So the only edit I have
   done before this error is to remove that stray numeral in the <link rel=”shortcut
   icon” line I had added.
 * I’m no expert, but I can’t see an error in line 8 which is I expect always as
   it has been since installing Weaver. Am I missing the wood for the trees?

 * Hi
 * OK, so I fixed this by backing up my header.php, downloading a fresh copy of 
   weaver and dropping in the version of header.php from that. The website works
   again. But line 8 in the new header.php is exactly the same as line 8 in the 
   one that was producing the error. So, while I’m happy that the engine is turning
   over again, I’d be curious to learn what might have caused this so that I know
   for the next time. No point having a lesson if you don’t learn from it.
