[SOLVED] Syntax / Parse Error Help

[The14thGOD]

Hey, I'm working on my site and I cant seem to find the problem of:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in testpage.php on line 187

here is the code that I added when i started seeing the problem:
[code] <?php
//Select comments table and see if there are any related to this art piece
//Put table/id in form MYSQL can read
$select_table = "art_$art_type";
$select_table .= "_comments";
$select_id = "$id";
$select_id .= "_id";
$com_query = "SELECT * FROM $select_table WHERE id='$select_id' AND status='enabled' ";
$com_result = mysql_query($com_query);
while($com_row = mysql_fetch_array($com_result)) {
echo("<div id=\"comment\"> \n");
//obtain username/avatar
$select_user = "SELECT username,avatar,signature FROM user WHERE id='$com_row[user_id]' ";
$select_result = mysql_query($select_user);
$select_row = mysql_fetch_array($select_result);
echo("<h2>$select_row[username]</h2> \n");
echo("<div id=\"section_a\"> \n");
echo("<img src=\"$select_row[avatar]\" alt=\"$select_row[username] avatar\" width=\"82\" height=\"82\" /></div> \n");
echo("<div id=\"section_b\" > \n");
echo("<p class=\"small_text_10\">Posted: $com_row[date]<span class=\"align_right\"><a href=\"edit_com.php\">Edit</a> | <a href=\"delete_com.php\">Delete</a></span></p> \n");
echo("<p class=\"borders\">$com_row[body]</p> \n");
echo("<p class=\"small_text_10\">$select_row[signature]</p></div> \n");
echo("</div> \n");
?>[/code]

I've looked for a while now and I've found some minor syntax errors but fixed those and it still seems to be giving me the problem. I've narrowed it down to this code also, I took out the code and it worked fine.

Thanks in advance for any help.

There is nothing obviously wrong with your code. Mind showing us which is line 187?

It's the end of the document.

Nope. Still nothing obvious. You realise that echo does not need its arguments wrapped in ( ) ? And also that complex variables should be wrapped within { } when within a double quotes string. eg;

[code=php:0]
echo("<h2>$select_row[username]</h2> \n");
[/code]

Should be....

[code=php:0]
echo "<h2>{$select_row['username']}</h2>\n";
[/code]

Nope, I didn't know that. Just the way I was taught  ^_^
