Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/jayleesy/public_html/bbhead2.php on line 48

In this coding

PHP Code:

<?php
if($userdata['session_logged_in']){//logged in

if ( $userdata['user_new_privmsg'] )//private messages
    {
        $l_message_new = ( $userdata['user_new_privmsg'] == 1 ) ? $lang['New_pm'] : 

$lang['New_pms']; 
        $l_privmsgs_text = sprintf($l_message_new, $userdata['user_new_privmsg']); 

        if ( $userdata['user_last_privmsg'] > $userdata['user_lastvisit'] )
        {
            $sql = "UPDATE " . USERS_TABLE . "
                SET user_last_privmsg = " . $userdata['user_lastvisit'] . " 
                WHERE user_id = " . $userdata['user_id'];
            if ( !$db->sql_query($sql) )
            {
                message_die(GENERAL_ERROR, 'Could not update private message 

new/read time for user', '', __LINE__, __FILE__, $sql);
            }

            $s_privmsg_new = 1;
            $icon_pm = $images['pm_new_msg'];
        }
        else
        {
            $s_privmsg_new = 0;
            $icon_pm = $images['pm_no_new_msg'];
        }
    }
    else
    {
        $l_privmsgs_text = $lang['No_new_pm'];

        $s_privmsg_new = 0;
        $icon_pm = $images['pm_no_new_msg'];
    }

    if ( $userdata['user_unread_privmsg'] )
    {
        $l_message_unread = ( $userdata['user_unread_privmsg'] == 1 ) ? 

$lang['Unread_pm'] : $lang['Unread_pms']; 
        $l_privmsgs_text_unread = sprintf($l_message_unread, 

$userdata['user_unread_privmsg']); 
    }
    else
    {
        $l_privmsgs_text_unread = $lang['No_unread_pm'];
    }
?>

I've tried to locate the error myself, but I'm having no such luck. Perhaps someone else can spot what I keep missing?

You are missing a final } to match with if($userdata['session_logged_in']){//logged in

That's all that pops out at me.

That error usually comes when you miss off a } somewhere, as 0beron said. I find it easier to work with PHP when I ident by a certain amount of spaces each time, such as:

PHP Code:

if($blah=="Yes"){
     echo "Yes!!";
}else{
     if($Yeah=="yup!"){
          echo "Yup!";
     }else{
          echo "Nope!";
     }
} 


This way I can always see how many brackets I need to add at the end. DreamWeaver is good for this, as you can just press Tab to indent by about 10 spaces, which is a good amount of spotting the missing bracket.

Also, another good habit is writing your code like this:

PHP Code:

if($blah == "Yes!"){ 


Then

PHP Code:

if($blah == "Yes!"){

} 


Then

PHP Code:

if($blah == "Yes!"){
     //Whatever your code is here
     //And here
     //And here
} 


Notice that I added the "}" as soon as I finished the if(), that way if I get caught up with my coding I *cant* forget to close brackets.



Just some hints
