Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_FUNCTION' in my MVC framework [closed]

I'm following the Create your First Tiny MVC Boilerplate with PHP tutorial, and as far as I can tell--my code is identical to Jeff's code... yet I'm receiving this error:

Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_FUNCTION' in D:\wamp\www\MVC_test\application\load.php on line 8

load.php

<?php

    class Load {
        function view( $file_name, $data = NULL )
        {
            if( is_array($data) ) { extract($data); }
        }
        include 'views/' . $file_name;
    }

?>

I've tried a few different things, but I don't understand what is wrong with line 8.

This line

include 'views/' . $file_name;

is inside a class but outside a method, which is not possible in PHP.

$file_name is local variable inside the function can not be used outside it

it's not allowed to write plain code outside the method in the class body

//replace
       function view( $file_name, $data = NULL )
        {
            if( is_array($data) ) { extract($data); }
        }
        include 'views/' . $file_name;
//with
       function view( $file_name, $data = NULL )
        {
            if( is_array($data) ) { extract($data); }
            include 'views/' . $file_name;
        }

You can't include in a class definition with an expression

<?php

        class Load {

            function view( $file_name, $data = NULL )
            {
                include 'view/'.$file_name;
                if( is_array($data) ) { extract($data); }
            }

        }

    ?>

---

This line should be,

include ('views/' . $file_name);

php include
