I'm trying to take a string as a form input from the user and check whether it is a country or not using an array of countries. I'm now getting this error: syntax error, unexpected '' (T\_ENCAPSED\_AND\_WHITESPACE), expecting '-' or identifier (T\_STRING) or variable (T\_VARIABLE) or number (T\_NUM\_STRING)
