 * I’m trying to install wordpress 2.6.1. When I get to the running the installation
   script I get the following error message:
 * Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/sites/site21/web/wp-includes/
   taxonomy.php on line 2134
 * I’ve tried uploading all the files again but the error persists.
 * Here is the code for the taxonomy file:
 *     ```
       foreach ( $terms as $term )
       			$links[] = "<a href="%22%20.%20attribute_escape(get_term_link($term,%20$taxonomy))%20.%20%22">$term->name</a>";
       ```
   
 * Thanks in advance for any help.

 * You may want to install 2.6.3 instead.
 * I’d consider deleting and reuploading ALL WordPress files. Make sure you are 
   using ASCII mode (or auto mode in FileZilla) to upload the files.
