[b]"Getting a Parse error in my code - what am I missing?"[/b] or [b]"Parse error: unexpected token - how do I fix

"Unexpected T_STRING" usually means PHP doesn’t recognize the class name. Even if `Thing` exists, maybe the file isn’t autoloaded correctly on the server?

Check:
- File permissions
- Class file location
- Namespace mismatches

Also, try `require_once` the file manually as a test.
