Parse error: syntax error

[Rairay]

I have been racking my brain trying to figure this out. I am trying to run a install.php for a module that react with the game we play. When I run install.php I get the error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/rairay/public_html/modules/Roster/install.php on line 543

and here is line 542 and 543 I read somewhere that the problem is sometimes in the line above. Hope someone can point me in the right direction with this. Thanks for any help provided

$config_file .= '$module_name = "basename(dirname(FILE))";' . "\n";
$config_file .= '$roster_dir = "modules/'.$module_name'";' . "\n\n:;

I'm not sure exactly what you want there, but the quoting is messed up in that last line. My guess is that you want:

$config_file .= '$roster_dir = "modules/'.$module_name.'";' . "\n\n";

PS: You might find it less error-prone to use sprintf(), which would allow you to separate the string syntax from the variables, e.g.:

$config_file .= sprintf(
   '$roster_dir = "modules/%s";%s', 
   $module_name, 
   "\n\n"
);

Well that worked and got the install process started now I ran into this

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/rairay/public_html/modules/Roster/admin/config.php on line 20

here is the line of code

require_once( $subdir.'settings.php' );(include_path'.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php')
