Unexpected $ Where There Aren't Any

I am getting this message when testing a script I made:
QUOTE
Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/globa38/public_html/forum/mods/phpbb_fetch_all/news/forumnews.php on line 159


On line 159, which is the last line in that file, I can only see this:
CODE
?>


What's the problem, and how can I fix it? unsure.gif

CODE
<?
for ($i = 0; $i < count($news); $i++) {
{
$max_length = 27;
$title = ($news[$i]['topic_title']);
$title_length = strlen($title);
if ($title_length > $max_length)
{
$title = substr_replace($title, '...', $max_length);
}
?>
    <tr>
      <td class="newshover">
      <?php echo append_sid('http://forum.global-rs.com/viewtopic.php?t=' . $news[$i]['topic_id']); ?>">
      <?php echo date('d-M-Y',$news[$i]['post_time']); ?> - <?php echo($title); ?></a></td>
    <tr>
<?php
}
?>

hmm idunno
maybe you can try this:

change
CODE
<?php echo date('d-M-Y',$news[$i]['post_time']); ?> - <?php echo($title); ?></a></td>


to:

CODE
<?php echo date('d-M-Y',$news[$i]['post_time']); ?> - <?php
echo $title;
?></a></td>

As far as I can see you have some extra braces. You have one extra { at the beginning that is never closed. Also, try not to break out of PHP into HTML in the middle of a for loop, as it can sometimes cause problems. Just put each line as an echo.

Okay, I have changed the code as you said, sxyloverboy, and I have put the HTML code in echo(). But still, the problem is happening.

hm looking at this thread i see that the problem was a curly brace "{" that wasnt closed. look though all of your code to see if you find something that you havent closed. if that dosent help i dunno.

When it says that there's an unexpected $ on the last line of the file, that always means that you didn't close all of your curly braces ( { ).

    In php coding, when you escape certain characters, they have an impact on the output of an
    echo'd or printed string. ie "\r\n\t" should give you a new line and a tab before
    outputting the content for a line of printing. They vary by OS, I know, but I have tried all the
    variations I can think of and can't seem to control output using them. Believe me, I have tried
