Answer 1

This is caused by the third param of your Mage::helper('core/string')->truncate() call, where the ending string delimiter seems to be missing.

You get the unexpected T_STRING error, because the interpreter reaches the next string ('short'), while knowing that the previous string end wasn’t found yet.

Replace this line

<h3 class="product-name"><a href="<?php echo $_product->getProductUrl() ?>" title="<?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_product->getName()) ?>"><?php echo $this->htmlEscape(Mage::helper('core/string')->truncate($_product->getName(),60,'鈥?)); ?></a></h3>

with this line

<h3 class="product-name"><a href="<?php echo $_product->getProductUrl() ?>" title="<?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_product->getName()) ?>"><?php echo $this->htmlEscape(Mage::helper('core/string')->truncate($_product->getName(),60,'鈥?')); ?></a></h3>
