Blade

Hi - pretty discouraged really. I am about 10mins into Laravel and the Quickstart tutorial fails.

http://laravel.com/docs/quick

I have followed the instructions to a "T" in fact I have simply copied adn pasted the code in to avoid typos, and Boom a page of errors.

I can't tell you what went wrong as I am a 10000% newb to this, all I can tell you is that I only got as far as "Creating A View"

The error message is :

Symfony \ Component \ Debug \ Exception \ FatalErrorException syntax error, unexpected T_EXTENDS

I've just tested the quickstart tutorial and it worked perfectly at the view stage. The only way I could get it to fail was by putting a <?php opening tag at the top of the view files. That is not necessary with Blade templates.

Brilliant ! Thank you ! That is not mentioned in the Quick Start, and as a newb I naturally put php tags in !
