Hi,
I've been trying to install Elgg on my frihost space, I'm quite proud of myself getting as far as I have so far, but I'm getting the following error messages and cant get past them as I don't really understand what its saying to me...
Warning: Unexpected character in input: '\' (ASCII=92) state=1 in /home/MYFRIHOSTSPACE/public_html/share/engine/settings.php on line 2
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/MYFRIHOSTSPACE/public_html/share/engine/settings.php on line 2
This is the php file it's referring to and when I view it its got all these strange tab tags which i'm guessing is the problem...

I saved the file like this (and it looks like this on my computer when read in wordpad)...
