Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING

[ryans13]

Hi guys

I've obviously goofed up my sidebar. Here's the message:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/ryans13/public_html/fortunefox/wp-content/themes/CordoboGrn/sidebar.php on line 77

Originally there was an error on line 87 and I thought I fixed it by removing the following line of code

<?php wp_list_bookmarks(); ?>

This is what I currently have in the PHP view: (starting from the begin sidebar text)

<!-- begin right sidebar -->

<div id="right">
	<div class="links">
		<ul>
			<?php if ( function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') && dynamic_sidebar('Right Sidebar') ) : else : ?>



<!-- Author information is disabled per default. Uncomment and fill in your details if you want to use it.
	<li><h2><?php _e('Author'); ?></h2>
		<p>A little something about you, the author. Nothing lengthy, just an overview.</p>
	</li>
-->


<li><h2><?php _e('Last Entries'); ?></h2>
	<ul><?php get_archives('postbypost', '10', 'custom', '<li>', '</li>'); ?></ul>
</li>


<li><h2><?php _e('What's Hot!'); ?></h2>

</li>



<li><h2><?php _e('Hosting'); ?></h2>
		<script src=http://www.hostmonster.com/src/js/fortunefox/CODE1/120x240/1.gif></script>
	</li>

</li>
<li><h2><?php _e('Community'); ?></h2>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.blogcatalog.com/w/recent.php?id=4303805&amp;width=140&amp;rows=10&amp;bgcolor=EEEEEE&amp;bcolor=33CC00&amp;lcolor=FF0099&amp;hcolor=FFFFFF&amp;htext=Recent%10Viewers&amp;name=1&amp;img=s"></script>	
</li>
<li><h2><?php _e('Archives'); ?></h2>
		<ul><?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly'); ?></ul>
	</li>



	</div> <!-- /links -->
<div id="navi_end_right"> </div>
</div> <!-- end right sidebar -->

I can't see what I'm missing. I'm sure it's staring me right in the face.....but can anyone help?

Welcome to the forums, Ryan.

Please note the ability to wrap your code in

 [url=http://phpbuilder.com/board/misc.php?do=bbcode]bbcode tags[/url] to make it more readable for us. I've edited your post to add them in.

Also note how the color-coded syntax highlighting they add makes it pretty easy to see one problem: the apostrophe in the following line throwing off your PHP string literal quoting:
[code=php]
<li><h2><?php _e('What's Hot!'); ?></h2>

You either need to escape the apostrophe ('What\'s Hot!'), or else use double quotes around the string ("What's Hot!").

Thanks for taking the time to edit my post and for being so nice about it. I didn't know.

NogDog how can I ever repay you! You've saved my blog. I can't tell you how happy I am and I'm so very grateful!

Thankyou!🙂
