Magento 2: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '' ''

Question

This is my first time trying out Magento 2 and I tried creating a basic custom module, but when I tried to execute the php bin/magento setup:upgrade it, I got an error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ''Jurgis_Twilio'' (T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING), expecting ',' or ')' in C:\wamp64\www\magento2\app\code\Jurgis\Twilio\registration.php on line 4

C:\wamp64\www\magento2\app\code\Jurgis\Twilio\registration.php:

<?php
\Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::register(
  \Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::MODULE,
  'Jurgis_Twilio',
  __DIR__
);

my php version (php -v):

PHP 7.0.10 (cli) (built: Aug 18 2016 09:48:53) ( ZTS )

• Murtuza Zabuawala: have you craeted composer.json file
• Metal Mathematician: hmm, no. The tutorial I was following didn't say anything about that...
• user54866: You need to check your custom module basic files and directories proper or not. and also check module name within code. inchoo.net/magento-2/how-to-create-a-basic-module-in-magento-2

Answer 1

I cannot explain this, but the error was fixed by just rearranging the elements in one line like this:

<?php
\Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::register(\Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::MODULE, 'Jurgis_Twilio', __DIR__);
