 * Hey guys,
 * I’m having a lot of trouble using the wp_enqueue_script.
 * I’m trying to call in a JavaScript i made using php, because it seems to be conflicting
   with the slider on my site. This is the code i thought would work. Why doesn’t
   it?
 * > <?php wp_enqueue_script(‘$src’, ‘wp-content/themes/creativepress/js/thing.js’?
   > >
 * Thanks for your help
 * -Sam

 * Might be that `$` in the name of your script. [WordPress : Using Javascript libraries with your plugin or theme ](http://www.lost-in-code.com/platforms/wordpress/wordpress-using-javascript-libraries-with-your-plugin-or-theme/)

 * Please reply. Lately people haven’t bothered with a reply to any of my posts,
   i’ve searched the forums and found no one with a similar problem.

 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘;’ in /home/appsfor1/public_html/test/
   wp-content/themes/creativepress/slide.php on line 2

 * Patience.
 * Read the error; that’s a problem in your theme.

 * trie adding a bracket and a ‘;’ at the end of this thingy:
 * >  This is the code:
   >  `<?php wp_enqueue_script('thing', 'wp-content/themes/creativepress/
   > js/thing.js'?>`
 * Instead place this:
    `<?php wp_enqueue_script('thing', 'wp-content/themes/creativepress/
   js/thing.js'); ?>`

 * @appsformcs and [@songdogtech](https://wordpress.org/support/users/songdogtech/):
 * [@anexis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anexis/) nailed it. In the original
   snippet of appsformacs’ code he’s missing a closing parenthesis and semicolon
   just before `?>`
 * This makes it seem like it’s a theme error only because that particular instance
   isn’t parsing correctly in slide.php
