Okay, there may be a few of these. It is very much as the error I was receiving trying to change themes (resolved).
Here is the exact error now:
"Warning: Unexpected character in input: '' (ASCII=15) state=1 in /usr/local/dh/cgi-system/php.cgi on line 4118
Parse error: parse error, unexpected '*' in /usr/local/dh/cgi-system/php.cgi on line 4118"
I tried a few languages just to be sure. Another sample of magic code to share for this?

Beautiful. Thank you so much. Resolved.
