parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING

What's wrong with my PHP code?

The error is: Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING on line 44

Line 44 is
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM login WHERE username= $_POST['username']");

My guess is that it should be similar to the following:

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM login WHERE username = '" . $_POST['username'] . "';");
