I'm assuming you want to use the assignment operator "=" instead of the equality operator "==". The PHP parser seems to be incorrectly attributing the error to line 10 when it should be on line 11. If you change "==" to "=" your error will go away. It took me a moment to catch it because of the misleading error message.
