Can anyone tell me why I am getting this PHP error?

I am trying to setup a template system with a header.php and footer.php. That way I can just update the header and footer php files to update the entire site. It worked fine until I added the following to put a unique page title and keywords for each page.

This is the error I am getting:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/bans1/public_html/header.php on line 28

PHP:

Here is line 27 and 28

<?php if (isset($description)) {
echo "<meta name=\"description\" content=\"".$description"\">";}?>

PHP:

Your help is appreciated.

Thanks,
AC

 

<?php if (isset($description)) {
echo '<meta name="description" content="'.$description.'">';
}
?>

PHP:

 

you're missing concatenation dot after $description variable

<?php if (isset($description)) {
echo "<meta name=\"description\" content=\"".$description."\">";}?>

 

Thanks guys. It works now.
