Parse Error: Unknow T_ELSE

[zearN]

Im getting the Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ELSE in D:\Programmer\xampp\htdocs\newssystem\edit.php on line 72 when im trying to run the edit file in my php news system. The lines of code i think it is about is these: } else {
$query = "SELECT * FROM news ORDER BY ID DESC";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
}
