Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING

Help please with this error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in C:\Inetpub\website.com\httpdocs\home\upload1.php on line 29

Line 29 is:

$upload_uri = $folder_directory."C:\Documents and Settings\Input\";

You should escape backslashes properly.

$upload_uri = $folder_directory . "C:\\Documents and Settings\\Input\\";

In particular, the final backslash was escaping the double quote that was supposed to end the string.

Or write the path with forward slashes, i.e.,

$upload_uri = $folder_directory."C:/Documents and Settings/Input/";
