First of all, using [php] tags makes your code easier to read.

For the problem itself, I'd say that PHP is finding a } character in a place where it's not expecting one. Not surprising in my opinion, as I can see you using } twice but { only once; so one of those } shouldn't be there. In fact, there appears to be a whole chunk of duplicated code.
