 * Hello [@moyarich](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moyarich/)
 * I am sorry about the issue you are experiencing and I am happy to assist you 
   with this.
    Have you made any changes after which that warning started? Are you
   using Page Fragment Cache? Have you recently installed or updated W3 Total Cache?
   Thank you!

 * The plugin is freaking out because of the **page fragment** syntax.
 * Please if you work on the plugin — update the documentation on how to use it.
 * There is **incorrect ** information in it

 * //—– works ——————————
 * > The security string has to come before the mfunc string
 *     ```
       <!-- <?php echo W3TC_DYNAMIC_SECURITY; ?> mfunc -->
       <?php 
       echo 'The time is '.date( 'H:i:s', time() );
       ?>
       <!--/mfunc <?php echo W3TC_DYNAMIC_SECURITY; ?> -->
       ```
   
 * //—– does not work ——————–
 *     ```
       <!-- mfunc <?php echo W3TC_DYNAMIC_SECURITY; ?> -->
       <?php 
       echo 'The time is '.date( 'H:i:s', time() );
       ?>

 * Hello [@moyarich](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moyarich/)
 * Thank you for the information.
    Just to confirm, after you made the changes you
   are not experiencing the PHP Parse error issue anymore? Thank you!
