Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /var/www/html/xxx.php on line xxx

I get that message when i try to run my script, but if i disable an if statement (code below) then my code functions correctly...

if($specs[0] == "DT")
    {
        $angle = $specs[1];
        $rating = $specs[4];
        if($angle == "00" || $angle == "30")
        {
            $drive = "0 or 30 deg";
        }
        elseif($angle == "20" || $angle == "+20")
        {
            $drive = "+ or - 20 deg";
        }
    }
 

but the error doesn't say it has anything to do with that code tho, it complains about a line of code 14 lines down the page.
