Help with code for Flickr badge

    I just uploaded a new theme to my blog http://table4five.net, and I’m trying to put my Flickr badge in the sidebar. I will admit, I do not really know what I am doing with this code, but I am trying very hard to learn. This is what I think I need for the Flickr code:

    // photos
    sp_sidebar_open( “photos”, “<h2>Photos</h2>” );
    echo ‘

      ‘;
      wp_list_photos
      echo ‘

    ‘;
    sp_sidebar_close( );

    with the code for the Flickr badge going where it reads wp_list_photos. I put it right under the Archives list, but when I clicked Update File the sidebar disappeared except for this: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in

    Could someone please tell me what’s missing, or if I’m even on the right track? Also, could someone please recommend a BOOK I could get that I could use to teach myself this code so I can at least add things to the sidebar myself? Preferably something with the words “For Dummies” in it? Thanks!

    Copy the content of the php file you’re having trouble with into a post on http://wordpress.pastebin.ca . Then post a link to your pastebin code here. This will allow people to look at it and tell you where the problem lies.

    As far as a book goes, I have no specific recommendations, however what you want to learn is “PHP”. If you know PHP to even a small degree, this sort of thing is very easy.

    Otto, thank you so much for directing me to pastebin! What a great site. Here is the link to the post I created there:

    http://wordpress.pastebin.ca/307208

    I titled it “Sidebar File”, and then at the bottom is the Flickr Badge Code. If someone could show me how to incorporate the Flickr code into the sidebar code, I would be very grateful for the help. Thanks!

    Ah. Okay. Basically, you had it correct with your above code, except you should probably close the PHP and reopen it instead of doing an echo.

    sp_sidebar_open( "photos", "<h2>Photos</h2>" );
    ?>
    insert your flickr badge code here
    <?php
    sp_sidebar_close( );
