cURL script question

the script below gives me the following error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '=' in /var/www/html/tmpscrpts/curl2.php on line 88

line 88 is :

$data_string .= $key . '=' . $value;


<?php
/*
 There are two fundamental ways for PHP to send data to another
 CGI via the POST-method: CURL and fopen.
 
 Where CURL is the easier of the two, fopen is more commonly available.
 
 Check the output of phpinfo() to see whether CURL is available on your system.
 
 
*//*
 This method uses CURL to contact the server.

// Perform the POST and get the data returned by the server.
$result = curl_exec ($curl_handle) or die ("There has been an error";
// Close the CURL handle
curl_close ($curl_handle);// Process the return
print $result;

any ideas why?

I'm also not sure if i should have a coma behind the last data field:

 'thumbSize' => '110' //dont know if true should have quotes around it it doesnt in config file
 );

 'thumbSize' => '110', //dont know if true should have quotes around it it doesnt in config file
 );

tried both ways and still got the error...
