 * , but I am getting the following error:
    ” Parse error: syntax error, unexpected‘{‘
   in C:\Apache24\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\themes\flatsome\functions.php on line
   14″
 * Here is the code:
 *     ```
       <?php
       /**
        * Flatsome functions and definitions
        *
        * @package flatsome
        */
   
       require get_template_directory() . '/inc/init.php';
   
       /**

       function wooc_extra_register_fields(){
       ?>
   
       <p class="form-row form-row-first">
       <label for="reg_billing_first_name"><?php _e( 'First name', 'woocommerce' ); ?><span class="required">*</span></label>
       <input type="text" class="input-text" name="billing_first_name" id="reg_billing_first_name" value="<?php if ( ! empty( $_POST['billing_first_name'] ) ) esc_attr_e( $_POST['billing_first_name'] ); ?>" />

       </p>
   
       <?php
       }
       add_action( 'woocommerce_register_form_start', 'wooc_extra_register_fields' );
