Unexpected Character in Input, Forum News with IPS Forum

[bendensin]

I just tried to install Dev Forum News. I generated the script and put it into a PHP page to test at www.turkeycentral.com/rss.php. When I call the page, I continue to get this message. Tried re-installing and going through the configuration again, but still get the same message.

Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in /home2/izmir/turkeycentral-www/forum/forum_news/EP_Dev_Forum_News/classes/sources/Forum/Invision_Power_Board_2.1.php on line 201

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '$', expecting ')' in /home2/izmir/turkeycentral-www/forum/forum_news/EP_Dev_Forum_News/classes/sources/Forum/Invision_Power_Board_2.1.php on line 201

On line 201 there doesn't seem to be anything that is the problem, so something is going on before that... I have no idea where...

Any assistance is appreciated!

I will look into this when I get back to my normal work station. Unfortunately I am away at the moment

Thanks! I look forward to seeing how this works!

Just a guess here based on an initial look at my code:
Check your forum news URL setting in the script. Make sure that it does not contain an incorrect trailing backslash ( \ ) instead of the correct trailing forward slash ( / ).

I believe a backslash will cause your error. Please make sure that you have a forward slash and not a backslash.
