Has anyone heard of this error and know how to fix it:

Unexpected ends are almost always missing closing braces }.

 

In your case, it is because your heredoc syntax is wrong, in that the closing line must be on it's own line WITH NO WHITESPACE BEFORE it.  Which means that the script is seeing everything past 

$message= <<<EOF
as a string.

 

Geany editor caught it in about 2 seconds.

I agree "Unexpected ends are almost always missing closing braces }."

I learned that after reading this article: http://en.kioskea.net/faq/3377-parse-error-syntax-error-unexpected-end

I not quite sure I understand what you have written:

Why?

The closing line is Line now 271: ?>

because I added a few lines of code but there is no white space before it or after it

If you are referring to this line: $message= <<<EOF  there is no white space before it or after it.

I downloaded and installed Geany editor today.

Please Please tell me how to detect code errors with it or where I can read how to detect missing brackets, white space, etc. with it.

the  closing   EOF; tag is where the offending white-space is at. the following is from the php.net documentation for the heredoc syntax you are trying to use in your code -

 

Warning

It is very important to note that the line with the closing identifier must contain no other characters, except possibly a semicolon (;). That means especially that the identifier may not be indented, and there may not be any spaces or tabs before or after the semicolon. It's also important to realize that the first character before the closing identifier must be a newline as defined by the local operating system. This is \n on UNIX systems, including Mac OS X. The closing delimiter (possibly followed by a semicolon) must also be followed by a newline.

If this rule is broken and the closing identifier is not "clean", it will not be considered a closing identifier, and PHP will continue looking for one. If a proper closing identifier is not found before the end of the current file, a parse error will result at the last line.

Heredocs can not be used for initializing class properties. Since PHP 5.3, this limitation is valid only for heredocs containing variables.

Example #1 Invalid example

<?php
class foo {
    public $bar = <<<EOT
bar
    EOT;
}
?>

First, I would like to apologize to  jcbones. The reason I could not understand your answer is I could not see the white space with  Notepad++.

After I downloaded, installed Geany editor and checked "Show white space" I understood your answer.

 

Second, I would like to Thank mac_gyver for his response.
