[PHP] what kind of weird problem is this?

[Joshua Alexander]

I just installed the php 4.2.1 from entropy.ch and when running this script:

<?php

$test = "just about anything";

echo "this was justa test";

?>

I get this error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in 
/Library/WebServer/Documents/west.php on line 3

Anyone know what *that* is about?
