[davy_yg]

Can anyone help me ? What might be the problem ?

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '>', expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or '$' in C:\AppServ\www\wordpress\wp-content\themes\platform\footer.php on line 36

I am not quite sure if the line numbering are correct since there are no line number in wordpress.

Thanks in advance.

Yes the line numbering is correct so the question is, why did you put a --> at the end of line 36? (And also 37, 38, 39)

Maybe you were trying to comment out those lines? Note that what you've placed are only HTML comments and since PHP executes before anything is done with the HTML, PHP sees a --> in it's code and that doesn't really make sense.

Hi, thanks -

Another thing, I wonder why I cannot write space in my footer text:

</html>

on line 30 I already write some spaces between texts, but when I preview my webpages, none of those spaces between text appears

That's because HTML automatically reduces subsequent horizontal spacing to one space only.
If you want more you'll have to use the   HTML-entity.
