PHP Unexpected character in input: ''' (ASCII=39)
<p>A friend of mine is getting this error on ALL of her websites. They are all on the same server, externally hosted.(the hosting company says they cant help with scripting problems)</p>

<p>Each site even gives the exact some line number, but they all use different Index.php files. I am a bit stumped here, has anyone seen anything like this before?</p>

<pre><code>Warning: Unexpected character in input: ''' (ASCII=39) state=1 in /home/xxxx/public_html/index.php on line 17

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '.' in /home/xxxx/public_html/index.php on line 17
</code></pre>
