I've set up a test site to try upgrading from version 5.10 to 6.4. Overall things look good, except on a few pages where I need to use some PHP code to pull data out of a legacy database. I get these errors:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '>' in /home/site_name/public_html/drupal6/includes/common.inc(1547) : eval()'d code on line 1
Which I understand means I supposedly have errors in my PHP code. It worked fine in 5.10, so I'm not sure what the problem is here. As a test, I tried replacing the code with this:
<?php
echo "Hello";
?>And I get the same error. A bug?

What version of PHP? What is
What version of PHP? What is your hosting environment?
What process did you follow in upgrading? (did you fully delete all Drupal 5 files first, or did you try uploading Drupal 6 over it?)
You mentioned custom PHP code - where did you write that?

PHP is version 5.2.6, and
PHP is version 5.2.6, and I'm running Apache/2.2.8 (Unix)
I created an entirely new directory and uploaded a fresh copy of Drupal 6.4, copied my 5.10 database to a new database, and went from there. So basically a new installation.
The PHP code is in a drupal page, and in a block displayed on the front page.
*EDIT* Looks like version 6 of the Panels module was the problem. I removed that, deleted and re-imported the database, ran update and now the PHP pages are displaying correctly. I guess I'll need to find a work-round for Panels for now.

Ah yes that would do it...
Ah yes that would do it... the first alpha version of Panels for Drupal 6 "just" came out, so it's likely to have quite a few bugs at first.
When in doubt - disable as many modules as possible to help you troubleshoot problems (you can always disable modules and re-enable them at any time without losing the data stored for them... however if you click the Uninstall tab and uninstall the module, then its data will be lost).

Same problem, didn't work
I have the same problem, and don't even have panels installed. My Drupal 6.4 is a fresh install.
PHP is 5.2.5, Apache 2.2.4, MySQL 5.0.45
What could be the problem?
Looks like Panels wasn't the
Looks like Panels wasn't the issue here after all. Even with that removed, I continued getting these PHP errors in versions of Drupal 6. A bit of searching found this fix that worked:
