Disclaimer: I am extremely new to programming! I have taken one C++ class and am currently taking a PHP class. I have an assignment to "Create a Web form that shows the mileage between European capitals. Use a two-dimensional associative array to store the mileages."
I have wrote the code, moved it around to different places, deleted things, added things, and I continuously get error message that says it was expecting the end of the file. I will post what I have below. I am looking for guided help and not just the answer. I have re-read the chapter and if I'm being honest, I don't completely understand it. This is our 7 or 8th assignment and this is the first one I have had to reach out for help. I appreciate any assistance that anyone is willing to give. Thanks in advance!

I really appreciate you guys pointing me in the right direction. I was able to move two sections of my code and it works like a champ! I'm sure I will be back with something else that has stumped me and will be trivial for the group, but, I appreciate the help. I am a 42 year old college student and things just don't click like they once did.
