PhpDig.net - Parse error with includes

I was following the examples set up by Charter in this post, but I am getting two errors

Parse error: parse error in /home/virtual/site212/fst/var/www/html/phpdig2/libs/search_function.php on line 4

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: phpdigsearch() in /home/virtual/site212/fst/var/www/html/phpdig2/search.php on line 63

on search_function.php the code is (line 4 in bold):

PHP Code:


		
			
function get_my_includes($filename) { 

*[b]*if (file_exists($filename)) { [/b]

****$buffer = ""; 

****$handle = fopen($filename, "r"); 

****while (!feof($handle)) { 

******$buffer .= fgets($handle, 4096); 

****} 

****fclose($handle); 

****return $buffer; 

**} 

}

on search.php (this is line 63)

PHP Code:


		
			
phpdigSearch($id_connect, $query_string, $option, $refine,

              $refine_url, $lim_start, $limite, $browse,

              $site, $path, $relative_script_path, $template, $adlog_flag, $rssdf);

What am I doing wrong?

thanks
