Unexpected Character Error

[msgotit]

So I am pretty new at creating pages to be used in vB so I was looking for a little help. Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask but it seemed to make the most sense. This is all I have in the file, and I get the following error:

Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\forum\admincp\admin_email.php on line 2

Parse error: parse error in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\forum\admincp\admin_email.php on line 2

This is in the admincp folder.

PHP Code:

<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

define('CVS_REVISION', '$RCSfile: admin_email.php,v $ - $Revision: 1.256.2.8 $');
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);

require_once('./global.php');

?>

Thanks for any help. I have just copied most of this straight from a vB file. I have just started with vB and am trying to understand how it all works. Thanks again!
