“Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING”

    OK, so I’m making my own theme. I’m about a quarter of the way through, and now I’m getting this error on my webpage –

    “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/strawber/public_html/wp-content/themes/Tutorial/index.php on line 27”

    I can’t find what it is that’s causing it :/

    <?php //comments_popup_script(); // off by default ?>
    <?php wp_head();?>
    </head>
    <body>

    <div id=”header”>
    <h1>
    “><?php bloginfo(‘name’);?>
    </h1>
    <?php bloginfo(’description’);?>
    </div>

    As far as I can see, line 27 is just “</head>”, and there’s nothing wrong with that, is there? I think it’s something to do with the stuff in the <div id=”header”> tags, because I started having issues when I was writing those, particularly the ‘description’ part.

    Any suggestions…? :/

  • I’d suspect it’s a plugin outputting something (incorrectly) through wp_head().

    That sounds like it’s along the right lines…but is there anything else similar it could be (because I don’t have any plugins installed)?

    Sorry, I went by your statement that </head> appeared to be line 27 in your template(s). Actually, that final </div> is, and looking closely at the line above it shows the cause:

    <?php bloginfo(’description’);?>

    Note the curly quotes around description. Those should really be straight quotes:

    <?php bloginfo('description');?>
