[*]Read some of these: http://www.google.nl/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=Parse+error:+syntax+error,+unexpected+T_STRING,+expecting+','+or+';'+i

[*]Read your own error message

[*]Go to the line stated in your error message

[*]Try to find the error yourself

 

This should get you started. It's an error you're gonna make many many times, so you better know how to fix it yourself.
