# header.php error due to wordpress editor

 * After I switched to a new server and moved over my wordpress files and database
   to a NEW wordpress install, I have ran into an editor issue. Whenever I make 
   a change on on the header.php file it causes an error. I know my coding is correct
   because when I edit the file in dreamweaver and then ftp it over it works fine.
   
   The error message: `Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting','
   or ';' in /home/content/80/7256080/html/wp-content/themes/TheSource/header.php
   on line 96`
 * Any help would be appreciated.

 * Maybe you have Magic Quotes [http://www.php.net/manual/pl/security.magicquotes.what.php](http://www.php.net/manual/pl/security.magicquotes.what.php)
   enabled on your server and when the file is being saved slashes are being added
   to the file content.

 * Thanks Greg, that was the answer, some coding got changed around. So I just deleted
   the whole thing instead of recoding code that I didn’t badly need.
