Sorry but I'm quite new to Php programming. I've written a short simple
script that tries to look for patterns in a long txt file:

$quotestxt = "$DOCUMENT_ROOT/quotes.txt";
$quotes_file = fopen($quotestxt, 'r+');
while (fread($quotes_file, 1024)) {
$pattern = '^[\"]';
$quote_roster = preg_match($pattern, $quotes_file);
print_r($quote_roster);
}

however I get the error message
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in line:
$quotestxt = "$DOCUMENT_ROOT/quotes.txt";

i've been to the manual but can't find what i'm looking for. can anyone
help?
