 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘.’ in /home/bonnie/public_html/wp-includes/
   user.php on line 244
 * 241 function wp_dropdown_users( $args = ” ) {
    242 global $wpdb; 243 $defaults
   = array( 244 ‘show_option_all’../../wp/wordpress/wp-includes/ => ”, ‘show_option_none’../../
   wp/wordpress/wp-includes/ => ”, 245 ‘orderby’../../wp/wordpress/wp-includes/ 
   => ‘display_name’, ‘order’../../wp/wordpress/wp-includes/ => ‘ASC’, 246 ‘include’../../
   wp/wordpress/wp-includes/ => ”, ‘exclude’ => ”, 247 ‘show’ => ‘display_name’,‘
   echo’ => 1, 248 ‘selected’ => 0, ‘name’ => ‘user’, ‘class’ => ” 249 );
 * I can’t see any syntax error here. Anyone know what is going on?
