You shouldn't be. There is nothing wrong with the block of code you provided. The unexpected T_STRING is usually caused by a missing '.' between the concatenatoin of strings or a semi-colon at the end of a statement.

I just ran what code you had, and it parsed fine for me. That means either you are looking at the wrong file, or there is something else missing and we need to look at the whole file and not just that block (i'm betting on the former though).
