Today when I developed a WordPress plugin, the menu program encountered the following syntax parse error message:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ''lists_page'' (T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING), expecting ')' in /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/reserve-course/reserve-course.php on line 54


This is a very common error in PHP, as the error message shows, it is a parse error and syntax error. If you incorrect use of single quotes and double quotes or even a mixture of them may cause such errors to occur, sometimes even one missing comma , can cause such an error.


Solution

The most common error situation is:

echo 'this is a 'good website'';


We need to change it to:

echo 'this is a "good website"';


or use the escape symbol \:

echo 'this is a \'good website\'';


And don’t forget to check if you have added commas between all parameters and semicolons for code paragraphs.
