I'm writing in PHP for a church website, and keep getting a syntax error related to a string without any visible problems

Question

The error is:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home2/svchapel/public_html/mmp_upgrade/administrator/components/com_sermonspeaker/s3/S3.php on line 1802

The line of code referenced is:

'code' => (string)$rest->response->body->Error->Code,

The line above the code referenced is:

$rest->response->error = array(

And the line below the code referenced is:

'message' => (string)$rest->response->body->Error->Message);

I can't find a problem in any of these lines... help?

Might be some odd, but invisible character there which ruins the PHP syntax (e.g., some sort of a fancy hyphen character instead of a regular one). I would try carefully re-typing the whole line manually in the plain text editor; if that doesn't help, I'd try to insert line breaks before each -> to see where exactly PHP borks up.
