No need for the quotes if just echoing the variable, and if you do have an array element variable like that in double quotes, then you need to use "complex notation" (curly braces) so that the parser knows where the variable ends:
[RESOLVED] Disagreing PHP :confused:
Hi all!
I have a page that has a MYSQL/PHP function to retrive databank data.
When I try add more extras in the form of a sidebar, the PHP throws a hissy fit, and comes up with this error:
[CODE]Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/a9362702/public_html/comped.php on line 1
Here is comped.php (the exact same thing happens on downs.php – they are the same page other than to diffent databases and with different headers)

[/code]No need for the quotes if just echoing the variable, and if you do have an array element variable like that in double quotes, then you need to use "complex notation" (curly braces) so that the parser knows where the variable ends:
[code=php]
echo "<p>Your address is: {$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']}.</p>";
