Parser error I can't find it.

[Tekron-X]

Here I am getting this error somewhere in this block of code.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_LNUMBER, expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in .......

    if ($whichpage == $1)
    {
        echo "<b><a href=\"". $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']? .".SID."&whichpage=$i\">
              Page $i</a></b>";
    }

a varname must not start with a number, $1 is not valid, a letter
or _ must be the first one

A better way to do it would be

if(1==$whichpage)
{

rest of the code here
}

Why do i say its better - cause too many times now i've done it the other way and accidentally only use a single "=" (which we all know is used to assign a value to a var). SO by taking this approach errors are thrown up and i can see the problem
