You have a fatal parse error on line 30, because php variables cannot contain a - sign.

 

You need to be developing and debugging your code on a development system with php's error_reporting set to E_ALL and display_errors set to ON in your master php.ini so that php will help you find basic errors like this. You will save a TON of time.
