Frequent Errors

There are various reasons to this error:

Component call code is not placed between separate <? ?>.
Solution: Check separation of the component code from another php code on the page.

I.e. if you have php code on the page like this:
```
<?
php code

component

php code
?>
```
it will return an error.

The code shall be written as follows:
```
<?
php code
?>

<?
component
?>

<?
php code
?>
```
Errors in html code on the page.
Solution: Check the validity of the html code.
Inconsistency of file encoding with the project in general.
Solution: Check the encoding. A quite versatile solution is to write the following strings in the file .htaccess:

For the website with the windows-1251 encoding:
```
php_value mbstring.func_overload 0
php_value mbstring.internal_encoding cp1251
```
For the website with the UTF-8 encoding:
```
php_value mbstring.func_overload 2
php_value mbstring.internal_encoding utf-8
```
Inconsistency between file the owner and user under which the system edits the files.
Solution: Check the user’s rights.
