We'd have a better chance to be helpful -- one of the Monastery's primary reasons for being -- if you marked up your code

with <code>...code here...</code> tags
so we could easily read it and ascertain which line has the missing sigil or other problem (hint, hint: "other problem" see blindluke's reply, above).

So, please, go back and edit your original node (by opening it in your browser; moving down to the text-input box; and insert code tags as explained by the instructions immediately below the (small) text-entry box for "Title:".

your failure to read and heed the instructions made it difficult to tell which line the "error message" referrenced (and yes, given a slow Sat. afternoon with weather too crummy to encourage me to do the work outside I should, I found the line that led to the message, but that was only after some imaginative, non-standard re-formatting). And yes, there are other approaches that a Monk could have used... BUT! all of them make us do work that's not directly relevant to your problem.
Since you're asking for the help, make it easy for us to provide it.

And while you await an answer, please read Markup in the Monastery... and consider also On asking for help and How do I post a question effectively?.
