"Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING" error message

[hadoob024]

I have now been looking at this for about 2 hours and cannot for the life of me see where this error is coming from.  I thought it usually means that I have a '(' or '[' out of place, but still can't seem to find it.  Anyway, the error message is:

"Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /blah.php on line 204"


And here's the code:
[CODE]
if (isset($_POST['expyear']))
{
if ((strlen($_POST['expyear']) == 4) && (is_numeric($_POST['expyear'])))
$expyear = $_POST['expyear'];
else
{
$problem = 7;
$problemtext .= '<B>You did not enter a valid credit card expiration year.</B><P>';
}
}
else
{
$problem = 7;
$problemtext .= '<B>You did not enter a valid credit card expiration year.</B><P>';
}

if (isset($_POST['cvm']))
{
if (strlen($_POST['cvm']) == 0)
$cvm = '';
elseif (((strlen($_POST['cvm']) == 3) || (strlen($_POST['cvm']) == 4)) && (is_numeric($_POST['cvm'])))
$cvm = $_POST['cvm'];
else
{
$problem = 7;
$problemtext .= '<B>You did not enter a valid CVM number.</B><P>';
}
}
else
{
$cvm = '';
}

if (isset($_POST['cvmnotpres']))
{
if ($_POST['cvmnotpres'] == 'on')
$cvmnotpres = $_POST['cvmnotpres'];
else
{
$problem = 7;
$problemtext .= '<B>You did not enter a valid value for the "Code not present" checkbox.</B><P>';
}
}

if (isset($_POST['bname']))
{
if (strlen($_POST['bname']) <= 60)
$bname = $_POST['bname'];
else
{
$problem = 7;
$problemtext .= '<B>Billing name is too long or wasn't entered.</B><P>';
}
}
else
{
$problem = 7;
$problemtext .= '<B>Billing name is too long or wasn't entered.</B><P>';
}
[/CODE]

Anyway, the error line comes to this line "$problem = 7;" in the "if (isset($_POST['bname']))" section.  I included the lines before it to because I know the line numbers usually don't line up properly with this kind of error.  Anyone see anything?  I've already gone cross-eyed and need to take a break.  Thanks!

on two places,

faulty: $problemtext .= '<B>Billing name is too long or wasn[color=red]'[/color]t entered.</B><P>';

ok: $problemtext .= '<B>Billing name is too long or wasn[color=green]\[/color]'t entered.</B><P>';

SWEET!!!  Thanks a bunch!  I finished up everything late last night and gave up on it at like 4 a.m.  Then I just started again and couldn't find it.  Thanks, you saved me from a miserable afternoon!
