Yeah, that is what I was thinking too. But I can't find what the problem
is earlier in the file. *sigh*

I'll do that, simply because it is a little clearer to read, but I don't
think the problem actually has to do with my string delimeters and
escaping. For one thing, as I mentioned, the problem seems to be with
$row["profileID"], based upon the fact that I moved that out onto a line
basically by itself, and the parser error 'moved' to that line.

Ok, I'll just post links in the future. I just thought it would be more
convenient to attach it, but I can link, that's no problem.

Also, from your followup:

If you go back and look again, I don't need the single-quotes wrapping
'true' to be escaped, because that chunk of the string is wrapped in
double-quotes. Yeah, I know, it's confusing lol. One of the problems of
using PHP to print html, unfortunately. Well, part of the reason I have
the string construction set up so strangely, is that I was testing out
to see if certain things were causing problems. Originally I had it
setup more like how you suggested. I only changed it to test some
theories out about what might be causing the parser error.
