It appears as if those marks indicate a transaction block of some sort,
although I can't find any reference to it anywhere on php.net
And, never having seen them used in php before, I would say that the
error is truly a "syntax error" ...

but why not something like this -
if ($del == "Yes") 
{
  ?>
    <p> User <? echo $fname . ' ' . $lname ?> with user name $uname has
        been deleted</p>
    <br>
    <br>
    <a href="./userlist.php">Back to User List</a>
  <?
  echo $yes;
}
