I'm new to php and am unable to resolve the following error message:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /nfs/aesop01/hw11/d53/einet/lib/global-einet.class.php on line 196

Would really appreciate your help.
Thanks,
nafp

Here's the code:

var $isAdmin = false; // working group access
var $isTrueAdmin = false; // site admin access (e.g., for jwerle)

Look right after all the var settings...

...snip...

var $user_id = false; // logged in user (set by cookie)
var $queries = array(); // save SQL queries for debugging purposes
"global-einet.class.php" 488L, 11503C

/\---- what's that line doing there? Is that include gone wrong? a random line that just appeared? That's what's causing the error.

You also have
include SITE_ROOT . 'lib/settings.inc.php';

Have you already define [uk3.php.net]d SITE_ROOT? (it may have been in there, but there was sooooo much code)
Or do you mean $_SERVER['SITE_ROOT']? Although this is not guaranteed to be set, as it is not in the list of predefined variables [uk3.php.net]. So you may want to think about building it, so that your application is more portable.

From the manual (users comments, in this case) -

$host = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
$uri = rtrim($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], "/\\");
$GLOBALS['SITE_ROOT'] = "http://$host$uri";
