 * Hello
 * I need some help, the support documents have not answered my question. When I
   try to run the install.php script I get this error message:
 * Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/virtual/site122/fst/var/
   www/html/blog/wp-config.php on line 5
 * I have double checked my quotation marks and semicolons. What should I do now?
 * Thanks
    ben

 * `<?php
    // ** MySQL settings ** // define('DB_NAME', 'blog'); // The name of 
   the database define('DB_USER', 'xxxxxxxx’); // Your MySQL username define('DB_PASSWORD','
   xxxxxxx'); // ...and password define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you
   won't need to change this value
