Put a ; after the following statement:
$setif($setting->access_id == "0" or $setting->status != MD5("1"));

Or was this intended as an if statement?

If you get a parse error in this format:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_[x] in [path/of/script/here.php] on line [line numer here]

Always check that you are ending your PHP lines with a semi-colon (;). Usually the line number gives it away. Do not look at the line PHP says the error is on as that is not where you missing the semi-colon, as the proper error is usually 1 or 2 lines above where the error occured. So if you get a parse error that says an unexpected T_VARIABLE on line 12 then look at lines 9 - 11 to make sure you are ending your lines correctly.

[code]$setif($setting->access_id == "0" or $setting->status != MD5("1"))[/code]

You forgot the semicolin here. (;)

[code]$setif($setting->access_id == "0" or $setting->status != MD5("1"));[/code]
