Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end

galtmilemedia · 07-21-2012, 05:22 PM

Now getting the following error when I type in skinsenseminimedspa.com/manage.php:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/skinsens/public_html/manage.php on line 117

Can someone help me out with this one? Below is the full code to the page.

<?php
include 'scripts/include.php';

//determine if they need to see the form or not
if (!$_POST)
{
//they need to see the form, create form block

END_OF_BLOCK;
}
else if (($_POST) && ($_POST{'action'} == "sub"))
{
//trying to subscribe, validate email address
if ($_POST{'email'} == "")
{
header("Location: manage.php");
exit;
}

mysqli_free_result($check_res);

$add_sql = "INSERT INTO subscribers (email) VALUES('".$safe_email."')";
$add_res = mysqli_query($mysqli, $add_sql) or die(mysqli_error($mysqli));
$display_block = "<p>Thanks for signing up!</p>";

//close connection to mysql

}
mysqli_close($mysqli);
}
}
}

There are two errors here. The first is that END_OF_BLOCK is preceded with whitespace, and the other is a mismatched closing }.
I'll reformat this so its easier to see it:

PHP Code:

In the future please wrap your code in [php][/php] tags. It would have identified immediately the heredoc issue, but wouldn't have identified the ending brace.
