php parsing and whitespacing error
<pre><code>echo "&lt;OPTION value=$data2['product_id']&gt;$data2['product_id']&lt;/OPTION&gt;";
</code></pre>

<p>This gives me the following error:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE,
  expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Can you help me out please? How do I fix this error?</p>
