Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '$y' (T_VARIABLE)

[iphone4life128]

I get this "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '$y' (T_VARIABLE) in download.php on line 1"
Code:

<?php
$y=6;

?>

How do you fix it?

I don't see anything wrong with the syntax.

How did you create the file?

I made a new file on windows desktop then uploaded it to the server. I think something is wrong with x10?

Go to cPanel --> FileManager and create another file and type in the same code. Do not copy/paste.

Windowz often puts in stuff that makes *nix choke.
