I keep getting this error

"Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '=' in /home/143/dmyers/public_html/sdev253/php/FileDownloader.php on line 4"

How is the '=' not needed. Its straight from the stupid book... I hate php today

<?php
$dir = "files";
if (isset($_GET['filename'])) {
	$fileToGet = $dir. "/" .stripcslashes($_GET['filename']);
	if (is_readable($fileToGet)) {
		header("Content-Description: File Transfer");
		header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
		header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"" .$_GET['filename']. "\"");
		header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64");
		header("Content-Length: " .filesize($fileToGet));
		readfile($fileToGet);
		$showErrorPage = FALSE;
	}
	else {
		$errorMsg = "Cannot read \"$fileToGet\"";
		$showErrorPage = TRUE;
	}
}
else {
	$errorMsg = "No filename specified";
	$showErrorPage = TRUE;
}
if ($showErrorPage) {
?>
