Works fine here. Try reuploading the file to your site, it probably uploaded wrong.

Reopen if it still won't work and provide more details if possible.

Still not working. Here are the three easy steps to reproduce the bug.

[toni@shaolin:/tmp/wordpress]$ wget http://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
--08:53:33--  http://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
           => `latest.tar.gz'

[toni@shaolin:/tmp/wordpress]$ tar -zxf latest.tar.gz
[toni@shaolin:/tmp/wordpress]$ php -l wordpress/wp-admin/templates.php

And it's reproducible with SVN templates.php

[toni@shaolin:/tmp/wordpress]$ wget http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/trunk/wp-admin/templates.php
--08:57:11--  http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/trunk/wp-admin/templates.php

fwiw, i tried it and it worked, first with PHP 4.3.11, then with PHP 5.1.1

jjb-g4-laptop:~/tmp$ wget http://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz

Latest SVN copy works fine here on Windows + PHP 5.0.5 (my home PC), Linux + PHP 4.3.11 (my personal blog), and Linux + PHP 4.4.1 (another site I run).

What version of PHP are you using?

[skithund]

Parse errors with PHP 5.1.1 on FreeBSD and Mac OSX but not on Linux or Solaris.
PHP 4.4.1 on NetBSD works too.
This is interesting.

Fix short open tags in wp-admin/templates.php

[skithund]

There's two rows in templates.php where short open tag is used.

[Viper007Bond]

Ahhh. Odd though, thought I had short tags disabled on my local install. :/
