You're missing a closing brace

                $clientFeatures = DB::table('features')->join('clientFeatures', function($join) use($clientID)
{
                $join->on( 'clientFeatures.featureID', '=', 'features.featureID')
                ->where('clientFeatures.clientID', '=', $clientID);
                })->get();
                $groupIDs = array();
                foreach ($clientFeatures as $c) {
                $groupIDs[] = $c->groupID;
                
}
} catch

[EDIT] Zane beats me

 

seems that you are missing a closing braket for the try... just before the catch

} catch.....
