Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';'

Bonjour,
J'ai desinstaller mon easyphp a cause de certain probleme, la apres l'avoir reinstaller, en essayant d'executer les codes des programmes qui marchaient tres bien avant, rien ne marche plus il m'envoie des message erreur insense que je comprend pas par exemple pour ce code:
usefulfunc.php il m'envoie le message d'erreur suivant

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in C:\Program Files\EasyPHP 2.0b1\www\training\application\usefulfunc.php on line 6

alors que a la ligne 6 il y'a just un commentaire.

voici le code usefulfunc.php qui contient des functions que j'utulise dans mes codes en se cas je l'inclu dans mon code sign.php qui suit just apres usefulfunc.php et c'est donc en appelant sign.php que le message d'erreur si dessus s'affiche.

usefulfunc.php

Et voici le code sign.php

<?php
include ("usefulfunc.php");
include "connection.php";
$page_title = "Sign My Guest Book!!";
include "start_pag.php";
if(!empty($_POST['test'])){
$errmsg = create_entry($_POST['name'], $_POST['location'], $_POST['email'] , $_POST['url'] , $_POST['comments']);
if (empty($errmsg))
{
include "end_pag.php";
exit;
}
}
?>

<form method=POST>
<table bgcolor="green">
<?php

print_input_fields("name","location","email","url");
?>
<tr>
<td valign=top align=rigth><b>Comments:</b></td>
<td valign=top align=left><textarea name=comments cols=40 rows=4></textarea></td>
</tr>

</table>
<input type=submit name=submit value="Sign!">
<input type=reset name=reset value="Start Over">
<input type='hidden' name='test' value="ok" />
</form>
<?php include "end_pag.php"; ?>

Merci d'avance pour votre aide.
