PHP Parse error syntax error unexpected T PUBLIC

Question

I am getting this error in this PHP code on line 3  what could be wrong  This code has been taken from php manual user notes by frank at interactinet dot com   lt  php  public function myMethod     return  test      public function myOtherMethod     return null     if  val    this- gt myMethod           val might be 1 instead of the expected  test     if    val    this- gt myMethod           now  val should be  test        or to check for false if     val    this- gt myMethod           this will not run since  val    test  and equates to true       this is an easy way to assign default value only if a value is not returned   if     val    this- gt myOtherMethod         val    default       gt

You can remove public keyword from your functions  because  you have to  define a class in order to declare public  private or protected function

The public keyword is used only when declaring a class method    Since you re declaring a simple function and not a class you need to remove public from your code
