Error with variables

[Hellusius]

I am trying to sum two variables, but it gives me the following error

[code]Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/www/warnicro.awardspace.com/stats.php on line 3[/code]

The php code is

[code]<?
echo "<font color=\"#EFDFA0\">Statistics<br />;
$count = file_get_contents("count.txt");
$count2 = file_get_contents("count2.txt");
echo "<font color=\"#EFDFA0\">Homepage views: ".trim($count);
echo "<font color=\"#EFDFA0\">Total page view: ".trim($count) + ($count2);
?>  [/code]

Anyone see what I am doing wrong?

You forgot to close your first echo statement:
echo "<font color=\"#EFDFA0\">Statistics[nobbc]<br />[/nobbc][color=red][b]"[/b][/color];

thank you.
with that solved I bumped into another problem which is I want them to sum up but instead the are placed behind one another so the answer is 15315 while it should be 168

Use this:
[code=php:0]echo "<font color=\"#EFDFA0\">Statistics<br />";
$count = file_get_contents("count.txt");
$count2 = file_get_contents("count2.txt");

echo "<font color=\"#EFDFA0\">Homepage views: " . trim($count) . "</font><br />";
echo "<font color=\"#EFDFA0\">Total page view: " . (trim($count) + $count2);[/code]
