I get the following error message (with 6.x-2.6)

warning: parse error, expecting `TC_DOLLAR_CURLY' or `TC_QUOTED_STRING' or `'\"'' in ./sites/all/modules/contrib/views/help/views.help.ini on line 190 in [..]\sites\all\modules\contrib\advanced_help\advanced_help.module on line 667.

Solution is to enclose the string in line 174 of views.help.ini in double quotes.

It's line 166, of course, not 174.

It is interesting that this problem was only detected with php-5.3.
Nevertheless, it seems to be an obvious syntax error.

If this helps get this bug fixed any sooner, I am confirming the problem exists and the solution works properly.

Confirming that this turned up when I upgraded to php 5.3 and the described solution fixed it for me.

The fix worked for me as well. Another php 5.3 thing I guess.

Hi everyone!
Completely new to this but I've been following Tom Geller's guide to learning Drupal and finally hit the error that's been discussed in this topic.
I'm embarrassed to say that despite the solution being in front of me I'm not sure what to do with it. Would someone mind explaining the steps to correcting the error?

Just download the -dev version. If you like you can *just* take the views.help.ini out of the -dev version and use it, which will fix the problem.
