This doesn't explain the type of error Heather is experiencing.
(Besides, config.php shouldn't have a closing ?> tag anyway.)

I'm pretty sure you have a line 214. (Possibly an empty one.)
When looking for the end of the string, PHP continues to scan the file, 
incrementing the "current line number counter" with each end-of-line. 
When it hits the end of the file, that counter is at 215, which is then 
printed.
(Most compilers for most languages have this bug. I guess most people 
find it too insignificant to bother fixing it.)
