 * Hi all, first post here so be gentle!
    I have had an issue appear on one of my
   sites and I am not sure why. Getting the following error message:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in \\BNE3NAS2-CONTENT1\CONTENT1\
   vs451063\brishair\wwwroot\wp-content\themes\bsh\functions.php on line 245
 * Here is what line 245 of the code looks like:
 * `<td width="80%"><? if(get_settings($value['id'])){ $checked = "checked="""; }
   else{ $checked = ""; } ?>`
 * Any ideas on what might be the cause?

 * The tripple quote looks wrong. `"checked=""";`
    Suspect that the code should 
   be: `<td width="80%"><? if(get_settings($value['id'])){ $checked = "checked";}
   else{ $checked = ""; } ?>`
 * Have you done any edits ?
