PHP - syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING





I am very new to PHP and have no idea why this is happening, I have looked at other online items, however I just cannot seem to see why I am getting this error.



include_once('assets/libs/posicloud/posicloud.php');


$cloud=new posicloud();
$out='';
foreach ($cloud->list_templates() as $key=>$template)
{
$out.='



Thankyou for any help!


Answer



When you're working with strings in PHP you'll need to pay special attention to the formation, using " or '



$string = 'Hello, world!';
$string = "Hello, world!";


Both of these are valid, the following is not:




$string = "Hello, world';


You must also note that ' inside of a literal started with " will not end the string, and vice versa. So when you have a string which contains ', it is generally best practice to use double quotation marks.



$string = "It's ok here";


Escaping the string is also an option




$string = 'It\'s ok here too';


More information on this can be found within the documentation
