 * Hi Guys apologies I see a lot of posts like this but I’m new and not 100% sure
   how to resolve this – Error message now coming up when i try to visit my site
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ‘,’
   or ‘;’ in /home/u814584542/public_html/wp-content/themes/gt3-wp-oyster/functions.
   php on line 208
 * Here is line 208 i have no idea what I’m supposed to be looking for as I don’t
   understand the code part of it all … If someone can help it would be greatly 
   appreciated …
 *     ```
       echo '<div class="custom_bg img_bg" style="background-image: url('' . $bgimg_url . ''); background-color:#' . $bgcolor_hash . ';"></div>'
       ```
   
 * Thanks – Mark
