Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/blloyd/public_html/consultation/consult.php on line 209

Hi, are you using HTML Tidy ?

blloydd, the causes for the unexpected $end are:

1) You missed a semicolon (Not necessarily on the stated line, may be anywhere in the whole page)
2) You missed a } (Not necessarily on the stated line, may be anywhere in the whole page)
3) You missed a " (Not necessarily on the stated line, may be anywhere in the whole page)

So, this is one of the worst errors to debug. If you can correct it, fine. Otherwise, post the code of the *full page*.

blloydd,

MGH is correct in what can cause that error.  It may help to find out what you are using as your editor program.  If the editor program is displaying the code as you showed in the second example then it does not seem that it is a real HTML editor program.  If it is changing the code then those changes may be causing the error.

If possible use a basic text editor, like Notepad in Windows, to write the script.  When you save the file make sure that it is not saved with a txt or other extension but with a php extension.  Put the file on your web server using FTP software or by uploading it.  If that file does not have a problem then you should avoid the editor you are using.

Let me know if you have any questions or need more information.


P.S. If you do post the code then don't post the "previewed" version.  It would be useless.

if there isa an error it should be in this section...

=====================

tried the suggestion by b0lsc0tt.  Didn't change the error message.  MGH could be right, there is an uneven number of brackets {=9 }=8, but I'm not able to tell which should be there or not.  Full code is above
