parse error -- where?!

I am learning PHP/MySQL through the book "PHP and MySQL for dynamic web sites" - 2nd Edition - by Larry Ullman.

this is one of the scripts it gives for me to use and shows an example of what should show up. However, all I'm getting is parse codes for line #11. why is this?

echo "<br />This line should appear separately in the Web page.\n\n";

echo 'Now I\'m done.';
