Why is this a parse error in PHP? unexpected T_DEFAULT?

Question

This is what the page says when it tries to load Login.php

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_DEFAULT in /home/content/t/n/i/tnine8MsoP29il/html/Main/Login.php on line 149

All thats on line 149 is: default:

Whats wrong with it?

This is the code that surrounds line 149 if that helps:

header("Location: New_member.php");
}
break;

default:
include("login_form.inc");
}

Answer 1

Check for mismatched brackets and the syntax of the rest of your switch statement. I'm pretty new at PHP, but I don't see a problem with the lines you have there, if they are inside a switch.

Answer 2

check to make sure no white spaces before opening php and closingphp and if there is >>>>>>>>

Answer 3

can you submit the whole switch block please ? it's hard to debug with partial code like that
