 * I’m receiving the following error upon running the wp-admin/install.php for the
   first time.
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘.’ in /home/content/n/e/s/nestaplat/html/
   members/wp-includes/user.php on line 492
 * The line in the user.php file is:
    ‘show_option_all’../../wordpress/wordpress/
   wp-includes/ => ”, ‘show_option_none’../../wordpress/wordpress/wp-includes/ =
   > ”,
 * I’m a new to PHP an know very little. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

 * umm. thats not what I see:
 *     ```
       $defaults = array(
       		'show_option_all' => '', 'show_option_none' => '',
       		'orderby' => 'display_name', 'order' => 'ASC',
       ```
   
 * I assure that wordpress does not assign static paths like that, anywhere, and
   it never has.
 * Where are you getting that pasted stuff from? Have you actually opened that files
   with a text editor or you loading it in your browser, or what?

 * I figured it out. Dreamweaver assigned the directory name when I un zipped the
   files and changed the directory name. Thanks for your help!
