 * Holla!
 * I need help installing WordPress. I got as far as these words:
 * ‘All right Sparky! You’re now ready to install…’
 * When I clicked to continue: This popped up:
 * ‘Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\
   wp-config.php on line 6’
 * Is this common, or how can this be helped?
 * Thanks!

 * Its commom. why? because it happens due to editing mishaps.
 * How can it be helped? Look at line 6 in your wp-config.php and fix whatever your
   broke.
 * `define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this 
   value`
 * You need the comma, you need the quotes, pay attention when you edit files.

 * Holla!
 * Nope: that line is perfectly as it should be…
 * Here’s what Line 6 has:
 * define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value
