Parse error on Sliding Door

    I’ve been trying to get the sliding door technique on WP 3.4.

    After some research, I found that I can accomplish this by adding to the wp_nav_menu function. My code looks like this:

    <?php wp_nav_menu( array( ‘link_before’ => ‘<span>’, ‘link_after’ => ‘</span>’, 'sort_column' => 'menu_order',
'menu_class' => 'nav', 'container_id' => 'header', 'theme_location' => 'primary-menu' ) ); ?>

    When I try to load my site, i get the following error:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘>’ in …/wp-content/themes/test theme/header.php on line 30

    I already have my nav menu set up, but I wanted to add customized background images to it through CSS…

    Could someone please point me in the right direction?

    Open up your header.php file and go to line 30 and look for the nearest opening and closing <?php'?>` tags and make sure they are closed before an html section and open for a php section.

    Usually this happens something like this:

    <?php some_function( $foo = $foo ) {
      echo $foo
}
<div id="bar">

    There should be a ?> closing php tag after the left curly bracket that will throw the same error your reporting.

    Pastebin
    There’s a link to my header.php

    Line 30 is the wp_nav_menu function. I’m not exactly sure what you mean by that.

    Should I put the ?> tag right before the ‘<span>’ tags and reopen <?php right after them?

    I have very little experience with php, so I’m not that great with the syntax yet…

    I figured it out. Putting double quotes around the <span> tags seemed to do the trick.
