Parse error...Not Sure Why

[Antec]

this is the error i am getting:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ECHO, expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in /home/***/public_html/themes/**/theme.php on line 56

echo "<table width=\"100%\"  border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" //cellpadding=\"0\">\n";

Is Line 56

Here is the code:

function OpenTable() {
    global $bgcolor1, $bgcolor2;
echo "<table width=\"100%\"  border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" //cellpadding=\"0\">\n";
echo "  <tr>\n";
echo "    <td><table width=\"100%\"  border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n";
echo "      <tr>\n";
echo "        <td class=\"msg_01\"><img src=\"themes/klima/images/msg_01.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"125\" height=\"56\"></td>\n";
echo "        <td class=\"msg_01_tile\"><img src=\"themes/klima/images/spacer.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\"></td>\n";
echo "        <td class=\"msg_02\"><img src=\"themes/klima/images/msg_02.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"126\" height=\"56\"></td>\n";
echo "        <td class=\"msg_01_tile\"><img src=\"themes/klima/images/spacer.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\"></td>\n";
echo "        <td class=\"msg_03\"><img src=\"themes/klima/images/msg_03.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"59\" height=\"56\"></td>\n";
echo "      </tr>\n";
echo "    </table></td>\n";
echo "  </tr>\n";
echo "  <tr>\n";
echo "    <td><table width=\"100%\"  border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n";
echo "      <tr>\n";
echo "        <td class=\"msg_04\"><img src=\"themes/klima/images/spacer.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\"></td>\n";
echo "        <td class=\"msg_04col\">\n";
}

I have no idea why there is a syntax error, it seems ok to me. But I can't understand why you use a lot of echo, why not do something like this instead:

function OpenTable() {
    global $bgcolor1, $bgcolor2;
?>
<table width="100%"  border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
And a lot of other html code
<?php
}

There is no error in the code you posted.. it must be elsewhere.
