I'm trying to code a Wordpress theme, and I'm getting this error message -

"Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/wp-content/themes/xxxxxxx/index.php on line 27"

The thing is, I can't figure out what's wrong :/ Here's the code -

1<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" 2"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

25 <?php //comments_popup_script(); // off by default ?>
26 <?php wp_head(); ?>
27</head>
<body>

<div id="header">
<h1>
<a href="<?php bloginfo('url');?>"><?php bloginfo('name');?></a>
</h1>
<?php bloginfo(’description’);?>
</div>


Line 27 seems to be "</head>", but I can't see anything wrong with that... O_o Any suggestions?

I think it is on this one:

<a href="<?php bloginfo('url');?>"><?php bloginfo('name');?></a>
</h1>
<?php bloginfo(’description’);?>

try to put echo on those you want to display inside the PHP tags.

Thanks, but I just get a similar error relating to the echo :/
