well, you left out the line number in the error message. it is safe to
assume that any time you get the T_VARIABLE parse error, you should find the
line number that the error specifies. then, look at the previous lines
(usually the one immediately above) until you see a line of code not ended
with either a ; but some times (rarely) a missing } or php tag (?>).
hth.
