Hey.

Please don't edit the error messages when you post them. The line numbers, and other such "trivia", are actually highly useful when debugging.

As to the problem. The « items » on lines 8 and « item » 10 aren't valid PHP code. Did you copy this code from somewhere, without making sure it's valid? I'm guessing those weird arrow chars are supposed to be quote marks, and the extra white-spaces between them and the words aren't supposed to be there.

rather looks like placeholders to me (like <insert-name-of-desired-element-here>).
