Weird Syntax Error....

I am using code similar to that of the Shirts 4 Mike 2 example. I have checked my syntax through multiple syntax checkers that find no error. But my MAMP php error_log is telling me that there is an unexpected '.' on line 7 of my code. Can someone please figure out what's wrong?

Figured it out. Was editing a copy of the file instead of the original. Derp.
