Can Someone Tell Me The Error With This PHP Code?

Code:
<?php wpp_get_mostpopular("range=weekly&limit=6&thumbnail_width=90&thumbnail_height=60&stats_comments=0&post_html="<li>{thumb}<a href='{url}'>{text_title}</a></li>""); ?>
Where's the error?

I keep getting following error message:

"Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '>' in C:\xxxxx\xxxx\htdocs\xxx.com\wp-content\themes\xxx\single-videos.php on line 120"

Please Help!

Regards

    The error usually comes after adding the "post_html" parameter & this PHP function is on line 120.

      You can't put double quotes inside a pair of double quotes without escaping them (and same thing is true with single quotes). Try this instead...

      PHP Code:
      <?php wpp_get_mostpopular("range=weekly&limit=6&thumbnail_width=90&thumbnail_height=60&stats_comments=0&post_html='<li>{thumb}<a href=\'{url}\'>{text_title}</a></li>'"); ?>

        Thanks buddy!

        You're a lifesaver.

        Your solution was pretty close, but I also had to get rid of single quotes.

        I used the following instead & it worked!

        Code:
        post_html=<li>{thumb}<a href=\'{url}\'>{text_title}</a></li>
        It also works if you get rid of "<li>" tag altogether.

        By the way, this code is relevant to "WordPress Popular Posts" plugin.

        Regards

    Try adding a closing php to the code, before the html.

?>
    Escape the double quotes
