<?php
class tSys {

	var $templateContents;
	var $templateDir;
	var $theVariables;
	var $loopCounters;
	var $baseVar;
	var $baseVarLimited;
	var $looperMatch;
	var $nextForLoop;
	var $startTime;
	var $endTime;
	var $requiredVariables;

	function tSys($templateDir,$templateFile,&$requiredVars,$compileTemplate=0) {
		$this->nextForLoop = 0;
		$this->baseVar="@\$this->theVariables";
		$this->baseVarLimited="@\$this->_RUNTIME_stringLimit(@\$this->theVariables";
		$this->looperMatch = "<?php print \$this->loopCounters[\$variableBits[1]][\$variableBits[2]]; ?>";
		$this->templateDir = $templateDir;
		$this->startTime = microtime();

Escaping the $ in php variable names is causing the complaint (\$ instead of just $), it doesn't see the brackets as array indexes. This is on the line with the print statement.

No, I'm sure this is fine (he wants a literal $this in the string that I assume is eval'd later).

The error isn't even towards the beginning of the file, the error (as stated by the error message he posted) is on line #483. Can we please see this line?
