When did you download Impex and which version is it?

[thefifthlord]

I just downloaded the impex this morning not sure what version it is?

[Steve Machol]

Reupload the original Impex files and try again. If you have the same problem, please report this in the 3.6 Bug Tracker here:

I have found out the problem,

Where it says

<span

there is another span line below

<span

<span ....

Deleting the second span will solve this, i have another error but im currently trouble shooting it.

This would be content of the source post breaking PHP not a lot ImpEx can do about that.
