 * Hey guys!
 * I was trying to update the image that a plugin pulls in for a Facebook button.
   When I changed the img src code it says this:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING…on line 669
 * Here’s the code for the original line:
    `$vcFbConnectButton = "<div id=\"fb-root\"
   ></div><div class=\"fbConnectButton\"><a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/dialog/
   oauth?client_id=".$fbAppID."&redirect_uri=".$redirectUrl."&scope=email&response_type
   =token\"><img src=\"http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/rsrc.php/zB6N8/hash/4li2k73z.gif\"
   border=\"0\" /></a></div>";`
 * Here’s the code for the fix I made that cause the T-STRING Effor:
 * `$vcFbConnectButton = "<div id=\"fb-root\"></div><div class=\"fbConnectButton\"
   ><a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?client_id=".$fbAppID."&redirect_uri
   =".$redirectUrl."&scope=email&response_type=token\"><img src=\"http://www.localleadmaximizer.
   com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Facebook_Connect.png" border=\"0\" /></a></div
   >";`
 * Any idea what I did wrong? Seems like a pretty simple change.
 * There are 3 other places this img file is used in this plugin so…I assume I will
   have to change it there as well.

 * you need a \ after the .png – that is an escape character that makes sure the”
   is interpreted correctly – it’s not part of the URL
 * ie
 * `src=\"http://www.localleadmaximizer.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Facebook_Connect.
   png\"`

 * I tried that before I wrote this post and it didn’t change anything.

 * did you refresh your browser afterwards?
 * Definitely needs this, and if you’ve changed nothing else, this would be the 
   obvious error.
 * If still not working, try changing back to confirm that just this change is affecting
   it.
