After the host update my WordPress, the website showing this, I am not a programmer so I really don't know how to fix this, please someone can help~ the error is

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '50' (T_LNUMBER), expecting variable (T_VARIABLE) or '{' or '$' in /home/travelac/public_html/wp-content/themes/entrada-child/functions.php on line 57

And the code around there is:

function entrada_truncate( $input, $maxWords, $maxChars ) {
    //  $content = mb_strimwidth( $input, 0, 50, '...' );
    wp_html_excerpt( $input, $50 );
    return $content ;
}

Line 57 is

wp_html_excerpt( $input, $50 );

`$50` is what? Fifty dollars? – u_mulder Sep 20 '17 at 20:53

Variables may not start with integers. http://php.net/manual/en/language.variables.basics.php - If you want the value `$50` (fifty dollas), use `'$50'` (quoted). If its supposed to be the integer 50, use just 50 without any identifier in front. – Qirel Sep 20 '17 at 20:54
I just try 50 or '$50',but still not working ~ – Mason Liu Sep 20 '17 at 21:01

Read and inwardly digest @Quirel comment. – RiggsFolly Sep 20 '17 at 21:12
I tried, but not working~ – Mason Liu Sep 20 '17 at 21:28
according to manaual(https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_html_excerpt) `50` should work just fine – Sep 20 '17 at 21:46
I comment out this whole function，now it is working. But I worry about if it may cause another problem..... – Mason Liu Sep 21 '17 at 03:24
