Parse error

smiles76

Hi, I was trying to add the "goggle plus one" button to my site. Somehow, I made a mistake. Now, I keep getting the following message on my site. It reads...

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '(', expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or '{' or '$' in /home/blessed/public_html/app/design/frontend/default/theme223/template/catalog/product/view.phtml on line 98

Here is the code from line 98

<p class="email-friend"><a href="<?php echo $this->helper('catalog/product')->getEmailToFriendUrl($_product) ?>"><?php echo $this->('Email to a Friend') ?></a></p>

I'm not experienced with coding so I'm not exactly sure where the problem is. I'd really appreciate some help.

Thanks

$this->('Email to a Friend')

What method are you trying to call here?

Actually, this was a link where people could email the product to a friend. Actually, I know very little about coding. It seems that everytime I click on the page on my site which is suppose to display products. I get this same error message except for a different line of code. Should I paste more code up here? Thanks

Following the arrow ("->") operator, there needs to be either a variable name or a function (method) name. Since you have a parenthesized string literal following the arrow right now, the best guess is that you omitted a function name that you want to call from this object ($this). We, however, have no way of knowing what method it should be, but it should presumably be something like:

$this->method_name('Email to a Friend');

But that is only an educated guess based on the available info.
