I am new to php and been following various youtube tutorials and boought a few books, I am now however clueless with my latest error and really need some help.
This is my error Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING unexpected '?' in /web/com/138601040918006/main.php on line 17

Please have a look at my code and advise where I am going wrong. I had a feeling is my my files and because the website is uploaded its in a subdirectory but on Xampp its the main one and on localhost. So not sure.

Thanks in advance

...HTML STUFF...!
<?php
function fact($n){
if($n==0)
{return 1;} 
else {
$i = $a = 1
<?php //démarrer une session
session_start();
$loginOK=false;

For some reason you have an open php tag, followed by another open php tag. Take out the second one. Also it's good practice to get most of your php out of the way above the HTML (!doctype declaration).
