On a page i am trying to access i get the following error msg:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected '<' in /homepages/7/d94330934/htdocs/********/tutorials/tutorials_admin.php on line 17

What i have on line 17 is: <center><a href='tutorials.php'>View Categorys</a> | <a href='tutorials.php?action=addtutorial'>Add Tutorial</a> | <a href='tutorials_admin.php'>Admin</a> | <a href='tutorials_admin.php?action=addcategory'>Add Category</a></center>

Maybe im just tired, and missing it.
Any help would be appreciated.

Could you show us the code before line 17?

Ok here is all of it up to line 17

<?php
//------------------------------------------
//database connection
include("include.php");
//end database connection
//------------------------------------------

//-------------------------------------------
// 
// 
// 
//------------------------------------------


//------------------------------------------
//echo out a navigation panel
<center><a href='tutorials.php'>View Categorys</a> | <a href='tutorials.php?action=addtutorial'>Add Tutorial</a> | <a href='tutorials_admin.php'>Admin</a> | <a href='tutorials_admin.php?action=addcategory'>Add Category</a></center>

Well thats simple, you can't print out html to the browser when you still have the php tags open like that. Either you close the php tag and then have the html and re-open the php tag after, or you use the echo function and encase what you want to echo in a string.

Ex 1:

<?php
//------------------------------------------
//database connection
include("include.php");
//end database connection
//------------------------------------------

//-------------------------------------------
//
//
//
//------------------------------------------


//------------------------------------------
//echo out a navigation panel
?>
<center><a href='tutorials.php'>View Categorys</a> | <a href='tutorials.php?action=addtutorial'>Add Tutorial</a> | <a href='tutorials_admin.php'>Admin</a> | <a href='tutorials_admin.php?action=addcategory'>Add Category</a></center>

<?php

Ex 2:

<?php
//------------------------------------------
//database connection
include("include.php");
//end database connection
//------------------------------------------

//-------------------------------------------
//
//
//
//------------------------------------------


//------------------------------------------
//echo out a navigation panel
echo "<center><a href='tutorials.php'>View Categorys</a> | <a href='tutorials.php?action=addtutorial'>Add Tutorial</a> | <a href='tutorials_admin.php'>Admin</a> | <a href='tutorials_admin.php?action=addcategory'>Add Category</a></center>";

Thank you everyone for the help.
Matt your second example pretty much resolved this problem.
Other than another small error on down the page, which was simple to resolve.
Again thank you for the help.
