Yes, a couple of things:

1)  This list is for php install problems, not php coding problems.
2)  You didn't include the source code for your test.  We know this for two 
reasons.
2A) your error message indicates error on line 41 and the source code only 
has 25 lines.
2B) You mention line 41 contains </html>, but sample code does not contain 
this line.

That said, a php parse error commonly reports a line number to be one 
higher than last line of php code when it cannot determine more accurately 
where the error is.
