I am going out of my mind trying to figure this one out

Please remove this message.

What do you want to achieve with saving a php block in a variable? If you call this variable you already have to be within <?php ?> tags?

I'm unclear on why you are using "." to end your statements instead of ";" but you might want to post lines 1-47, as php errors are often well before the line mentioned in the error message.

OK I get it - I think - you want to display php code in a page.

Use &lt; as opposed to < and &gt; instead of >
