php error

[unnown]

i have this script and it keeps giving me a strange error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /var/www/vhosts/""/""/Register.php on line 97

but when i refresh the page it loads normally
(also it doesn't have anything to do with line 97)

the script

<?php

  if(!checkdnsrr($domain, 'MX')) {
