Syntax errors on correct code.

Hello everyone,

I'm getting PHP syntax errors on two different servers with two different installs with the same correct (as far as I can tell) code:

For example, this:

/**
* Implementation of hook_menu().
*/
function modal_test_menu() {
  $items = array();

  $items['modal_test'] = array(
    'title' => 'Modal test',
    'access callback' => TRUE,
    'page callback' => 'modal_test_page',
  );

  $items['modal_test/form'] = array(
    'title' => 'AJAX modal dialog',
    'access callback' => TRUE,
    'page callback' => 'modal_test_popup',
    'type' => MENU_CALLBACK,
  );

  return $items;
}

function modal_test_page() {
  ctools_include('ajax'); // Module  include the dependence it needs for ajax.
  ctools_include('modal');
  ctools_modal_add_js();

  $output = ctools_modal_text_button(t('Click Here'), 'modal_test/form', t('Pop me up'));
  $output .= '<div id="modal-message">&nbsp</div>';
  ctools_include('plugins');
  return $output;
}

function modal_test_popup() {
  ctools_include('ajax');
  ctools_include('modal');

  $form_state = array('ajax' => TRUE);
  $output = ctools_modal_form_wrapper('module_test_form', $form_state);
  if (!$output) {
    $output = array();
    $output[] = ctools_ajax_command_replace('#modal-message', '<div id="modal-message">' . $form_state['message'] . '</div>');
    $output[] = ctools_modal_command_dismiss();
  }
  ctools_ajax_render($output);
}

function module_test_form(&$form_state) {
  $form['text'] = array(
    '#type' => 'textfield',
    '#title' => t('Text'),
  );

  $form['submit'] = array(
    '#type' => 'submit',
    '#value' => t('Submit'),
  );

  return $form;
}

function module_test_form_submit(&$form, &$form_state) {
  $form_state['message'] = t('Message: %message', array('%message' => $form_state['values']['text']));
}

returns the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/justin/modules/modal_test/modal_test.module on line 6 Call Stack: 0.0002 649080 1. {main}() /srv/http/drupal6/index.php:0 0.0021 1008616 2. drupal_bootstrap() /srv/http/drupal6/index.php:21 0.0238 4145280 3. _drupal_bootstrap() /srv/http/drupal6/includes/bootstrap.inc:989 0.0294 5253512 4. _drupal_bootstrap_full() /srv/http/drupal6/includes/bootstrap.inc:1080 0.0478 8774016 5. module_load_all() /srv/http/drupal6/includes/common.inc:2618 0.1116 19455328 6. drupal_load() /srv/http/drupal6/includes/module.inc:14

Both sites work fine without the module and once I enable it, this error occurs. I wrote another module and again, it's bringing errors the first time I use a variable.

This is really frustrating. ._.

Perhaps I should post this on a PHP board?

Thanks,
Justin
