Help with MySQL and PHP News System

Hello Everyone,

As you can see, I am after a bit of help with a new News System that uses MySQL Queries and of course a Rich Text Editor.

Now, when I try to use it, I continually get parse errors, over and over again, but I think it is the RTE contributing to them.

The news manager admin code is:

Code:
<? 
ob_start(); 
include("config.php"); 
if ($logged[username] && $logged['level'] == "3" || $logged['level'] == "5") { 

switch($_GET['view']) { 
case "addnews" : 
include("config.php"); 
if(isset($_POST['add_news'])) { 

$title=$_POST['title'];
$desc=$_POST['desc']; 
$author=$logged['username']; 
$postdate=date("g:i A, l F j"); 
$content=$_POST['content']; 

$sql = "INSERT INTO news (title, desc, author, postdate, content) VALUES ('$title', '$desc', '$author', '$postdate', '$content')"; 
$addnews = mysql_query($sql) 
or die(mysql_error()); 
header("Location:news_admin.php"); 
} 
else 
{ 
echo ("
<html>
<head>
	<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
	<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="html2xhtml.js"></script>
	<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="richtext_compressed.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<center>
<font face=\"tahoma\" size=\"2\" color=\"#000000\">

</tr> 
<tr> 
    <td> <input class=\"content_box\" Type=\"text\" name=\"title\" value=\"Article's Title\"></td> 
</tr> 
<tr> 
    <td height=\"20\"><font face=\"tahoma\" size=\"2\"><br>Article Description:<br></td> 
</tr> 
<tr> 
    <td> <input class=\"content_box\" Type=\"text\" name=\"desc\" value=\"Small Description\"></td> 
</tr>
<tr>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function submitForm() {
	//make sure hidden and iframe values are in sync for all rtes before submitting form
	updateRTEs();
	
	return true;
}

initRTE("./images/", "./", "", true);

	$content = rteSafe($content);
} else {
	//retrieve posted value
	$content = rteSafe($_POST["rte1"]);

?>
rte1.html = '<?=$content;?>';
//rte1.toggleSrc = false;
rte1.build();
//-->

What is the actual error message and what line is it referring to in the code?

It is beyond the scope of a Forum to find what is wrong with several hundred lines of code unless you provide as much information as possible as to where to look in it for the problem. We only see what you state in your post. No one is going to look at this unless you provide enough information about what is going on with it.
