Hi Nazan,

I ran your code on my local server and it worked fine, could you please explain the setup you have, e.g. version of Apache/PHP 5.x etc.

Hi chris,

I use Apache 2.4.10 and PHP 5.6.3 . I saved it and refreshed it several times but it still throws this error.

Sorry for the delay, I tested your script again within a clean Windows 8.1 environment using the latest version of Xampp and had no errors appear.

If possible could you please ZIP up your entire project and upload it to something like Dropbox as I can't find anything wrong with the above code.
