The error is..

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/a2765026/public_html/forum/global.php on line 234

Here's the full code.

You have quotes within quotes on line 234. You need to escape the nested quotes or use double quotes inside single quotes (or the reverse). I changed it below to use the outer quotes as single quotes instead of double quotes
