 * Best guess based on not seeing the rest of the file (please don’t post it, as
   it has security-sensitive info in it) is a missing semi-colon at the end of the
   previous statement: line 65 or earlier, depending on the use of blank lines and
   comments.

 * I’m not sure but it could also be caused due to the curly quotes, if you’re using
   them in wp-config.php file.
