An error like that is usually caused by mis-matched curly braces or an unterminated string.

Please edit your above post to:
[list]
[*]Change the case of your opening "<?PHP" to "<?php"
[*]Indent your code correctly, which will make unbalanced curly braces much easier to find.
[/list]

its not a curly brace prob i have tryed adding then on at the end and it still shows the error just another line down..

I found two missing curly brackets, see comments in code

I would recomend getting a free php editor that will highlight syntax for you - a good and easy one is PHP Editor on http://www.mpsoftware.dk/ (http://www.mpsoftware.dk/downloads.php)
