Answer 1

It appears you've escaped the closing quotes on your $dir= statement. I don't use php in a Windows environment, so I don't know if you can convert all your \ to /, but if not, you'll want to escape all the \:

$dir="C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\php\\"; 

Or use single quotes, which disables escape sequences:

$dir='C:\xampp\htdocs\php\'; 

Parse errors often indicate that there is a syntax (or string in this case) error in your code, BEFORE the error actually reported by the parser.
