 * I was trying to change the heading on my submenu list and I messed up the PHP
   code.
 * Now I get this error message when I try to save the functions.php page:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ‘,’ or ‘;’ in /home/
   pommerd/public_html/blog/wp-content/themes/pommerus/functions.php on line 75
 * This is what line 75 looks like now:
 * echo'<div id=”subpages><h2>Menu for ‘; echo $parent_title; echo’:</h2><ul class
   =”submenu”>’;
 * Can anyone tell me what I messed up?

 * Jack,
 * I’m not a php expert by a long shot, but I do see a missing ” on subpages! You
   have a beginning quote, no close quote. Hope this helps.
