I am wondering though why it didnt throw a php parse error!??? Either on screen on in the log files??

Sounds like error reporting is turned off either somewhere in your app or in your php.ini

You'll probably want to set it to error_reporting(E_ALL), at least on your dev server. Can't imagine how painful developing would be with out it.
