Thanks sbillard! I c/p and it said Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/xxxx/public_html/zentest/zp-core/functions-db.php on line 36 (line 36: echo current directory: '.getcwd()

I changed it to:
`
if (!$mysql_connection) {
echo '$_zp_conf_vars:';
print_r($_zp_conf_vars);
echo '
current directory: '.getcwd();
echo '
zp-config.php ';
if (file_exists('zp-config.php')
echo 'found';
else
echo 'not found';
`
and I have an unexpected T_ECHO on line 38 but I don't know how to fix this.
