[root@host]~ >> php blah.php
PHP: Error parsing /usr/local/lib/php.ini on line 793
Open the file /usr/local/lib/php.ini
nano /usr/local/lib/php.ini
Press ^_ and enter 793
Change the following line
url_rewriter.tags = a=href,area=href,frame=src,input=src,form=,fieldset=
to the one below or simply add the double-quotes
url_rewriter.tags = "a=href,area=href,frame=src,input=src,form=,fieldset="
It didn’t even require a restart.
