This is the error I'm getting.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/ansem/public_html/fail.php on line 1
This is what I have in the file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

I don't get how the error can be on line 1 or how to fix it.
I do have this in my index though, because I'm using .xml files on some places
<?php
// redirect errors to our own logfile
error_reporting(-1); // everything
ini_set("display_errors", "Off");
ini_set("error_log", "logs/churchofgaming-error-".strftime('%Y%m%d').".log");
// enable xhtml+xml mode if the client supports it
if ( stristr(@$_SERVER["HTTP_ACCEPT"],"application/xhtml+xml") )
header("Content-type: application/xhtml+xml");
else
header("Content-type: text/html");
require_once("main.php");
?>
Well, I would guess its that:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
You need to:
a) Disable "short_open_tag" in the php.ini
b) Output this instead:
<?php echo("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n"); ?>
That way the PHP parser will ignore it

Not really in the mood to change ever file
What would be the line I'd need to put into the php.ini ?
This:
; Allow the <? tag. Otherwise, only <?php and <script> tags are recognized.
; NOTE: Using short tags should be avoided when developing applications or
; libraries that are meant for redistribution, or deployment on PHP
; servers which are not under your control, because short tags may not
; be supported on the target server. For portable, redistributable code,
; be sure not to use short tags.
short_open_tag = On

short_open_tag = Off
Basically, PHP is accepting <? and ?> as valid php tags, so is confused when that XML statement doesnt contain any semi-colons
I wonder why they don't specifically test for and ignore <?xml ... ?> since it's a really dang common use of <? ?> that's not for PHP...

I have always wondered the same. Although TBH i thought they only accepted <? followed by a "space", not any other character. For example, I didnt think they would accept <?blah but evidently they do
how important is it actually to have the line: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
If I remove it, will it mess up the script ?
You are better off just diabling short php tags
As long as you use <?php to open your php code it's fine. Really, no code should ever be developed using short tags if it is to be released to the public. As many servers have them disabled.
