How to fix parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in

The rest of the error, the part you didn't post, is the part that tells you where the error occurs. If you want us to be able to help locate it, we need to see that as well.

This error, however, usually indicates that your brackets are out of order. Make sure you close all conditional blocks and functions properly.

Looks like you haven't closed that main if(). This is why programmers love consistent formatting.

How to fix parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in PART 2!

Thank you for the responses guys. Here is my PHP for the site. There is something wrong, can anyone identity it? I would really appreciate it.

Code:

<?php
if(isset($_POST['email'])) {
	
	// EDIT THE 2 LINES BELOW AS REQUIRED
	$email_to = "renewalhomerestoration@gmail.com";
	$email_subject = "New Email from contact form in email";
	
	
	function died($error) {
		// your error code can go here
		echo "We are very sorry, but there were error(s) found with the form your submitted. ";
		echo "These errors appear below.<br /><br />";
		echo $error."<br /><br />";
		echo "Please go back and fix these errors.<br /><br />";
		die();
	}
	
	// validation expected data exists
	if(!isset($_POST['first_name']) ||
		!isset($_POST['last_name']) ||
		!isset($_POST['email']) ||
		!isset($_POST['telephone']) ||
		!isset($_POST['comments'])) {
		died('We are sorry, but there appears to be a problem with the form your submitted.');		
	}
	
	$first_name = $_POST['first_name']; // required
	$last_name = $_POST['last_name']; // required
	$email_from = $_POST['email']; // required
	$telephone = $_POST['telephone']; // not required
	$comments = $_POST['comments']; // required
	
	$error_message = "";
	$email_exp = "^[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}$";
  if(!eregi($email_exp,$email_from)) {
  	$error_message .= 'The Email Address you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />';
  }
	$string_exp = "^[a-z .'-]+$";
  if(!eregi($string_exp,$first_name)) {
  	$error_message .= 'The First Name you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />';
  }
   
  if(!eregi($string_exp,$last_name)) {
  	$error_message .= 'The Last Name you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />';
  }
  if(strlen($comments) < 2) {
  	$error_message .= 'The Comments you entered do not appear to be valid.<br />';
  }
  $string_exp = "^[0-9 .-]+$";
  if(!eregi($string_exp,$telephone)) {
  	$error_message .= 'The Telphone Number you entered does not appear to be valid.<br />';
  }
  if(strlen($error_message) > 0) {
  	died($error_message);
  }
	$email_message = "Form details below.\n\n";
	
	function clean_string($string) {
	  $bad = array("content-type","bcc:","to:","cc:","href");
	  return str_replace($bad,"",$string);
	}
	
	$email_message .= "First Name: ".clean_string($first_name)."\n";
	$email_message .= "Last Name: ".clean_string($last_name)."\n";
	$email_message .= "Email: ".clean_string($email_from)."\n";
	$email_message .= "Telephone: ".clean_string($telephone)."\n";
	$email_message .= "Comments: ".clean_string($comments)."\n";
	
	
// create email headers
$headers = 'From: '.$email_from."\r\n".
'Reply-To: '.$email_from."\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
@mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);  
?>

Here is the HTML for the form if this helps.

Code:

<form name="contact" method="post" action="contactform.php">
<table width="550px">
</tr>
<tr>
 <td valign="top">
  <label for="first_name">First Name</label>
 </td>
 <td valign="top">
  <input  type="text" name="first_name" maxlength="50" size="30">
 </td>
</tr>

 <td valign="top">
  <label for="last_name">Last Name</label>
 </td>
 <td valign="top">
  <input  type="text" name="last_name" maxlength="50" size="30">
 </td>
</tr>
<tr>
 <td valign="top">
  <label for="email">Return Email</label>
 </td>
 <td valign="top">
  <input  type="text" name="email" maxlength="80" size="30">
 </td>

</tr>
<tr>
 <td valign="top">
  <label for="telephone">Phone Number</label>
 </td>
 <td valign="top">
  <input  type="text" name="telephone" maxlength="30" size="30">
 </td>
</tr>
<tr>
 <td valign="top">
  <label for="comments">Comments</label>
 </td>
 <td valign="top">
  <textarea  name="comments" maxlength="1000" cols="25" rows="6"></textarea>
 </td>

</tr>
<tr>
 <td colspan="2" style="text-align:center">
  <input type="submit" value="Submit">
 </td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

And finally, here is the error when you use the contact form:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in D:\Hosting\5235 613\html\newsit e\contactform.p hp on line 112
