Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in

darthmoobey

Hello folks, I am pretty new at php programming, I am trying to learn it and I'm having some difficulties with this project I am working on. I keep getting this error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /homepages/36/d106608162/htdocs/createpc.php on line 945

I did not include the html code, with this post, I Was not sure if it was needed. Though I will say the error points to the very last line, which happens to be the closing ?>. It sounded like it it was an unexpected variable, that has not been defined, but I have reviewed it over and over and cannot find what might be wrong. Could anyone please help. Also, I had a question on the implode() command, I set it up to implode various variables, but I know it works with arrays. IE. Implode("|",$array1), if array1 has array1[0]-array1[5] or something, but will it implode various variables like I have it set?

Thank you anyone for your help, and I Apologise ahead of time if this question seems a bit trivial to anyone else.

the HEREDOC syntax is invalid. the last line must contain NO OTHER CHARS before & after the identifier and MUST be immediately followed by semi-comma (;) and newline

edit: you dont need to put double quotes into the HEREDOC
