oh, so anyway, the parse error is probably coming up because the parser will
expect a variable token.  All the characters up till the open paren are
probably being parsed as a T_VAR variable name and the first open paren
throws it a curve.  Its error message is pretty useful, in hindsight, since
chances are you hit shift-9 instead of shift-10 by accident.

I tend to agree with Joel. I have tested this, and made sure I have all
parentheses right.
It seems as if the object's method call is not allowed in neither "empty"
nor "isset".

Only thing that comes to mind is that you missed a parentheses on a
preceding line.
