Let me get this straight because I'm not a phpnuke user.  When you use the
admin interface it rewrites a file called config.php and after the rewrite
backslashes
that were previously there no longer exist?  If that's the case then I
suspect magic_quotes needs to be enabled for the site.  You can do that in a
.htaccess file or alternately in php.ini, but be aware that will affect php
on all sites (not a bad thing unless it breaks some other sites' code, need
to restart Apache after php.ini change).  If you can't get it to work, post
the relevant lines from php.ini here and your .htaccess file if you create
one.

92

I assume line 92 is one of the lines above.  That's b/c since a double quote
was used to begin enclosing the code the second double quote is treated as
closing it.  Not PHP's fault.

The double // is odd, but won't cause problems.  Perhaps you should check
the install/configuration instructions for phpnuke.  My guess is that you're
supposed to set the include_path in a .htaccess file and it's not set.

I assume that's because it's in themes/theme.php which header.php can't
locate.

That's my fault.  There was a typo in my instructions.  It should be:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>
