 * Most likely cause is an error on the line above. Look for a missing >, or maybe
   a missing ” or ‘ that makes the > look like it’s part of a string rather than
   closing a tag.

 * <?php
    /* Don’t remove this line. */ require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’); <html> 
   If I added “>” to the end of line 3, the error was unexpected “>” on line 3. 
   Any more help? 🙁

 * `<?php
    /* Don't remove this line. */ require('./wp-blog-header.php'); <html>
   Should be <?php /* Don't remove this line. */ require('./wp-blog-header.php');?
   > <html>
