Error: $end

Hello, I am just beginning and I keep getting the $end error no matter what form i use on a php page that involves if statements.
Why could this be?

<?
if (strlen($POST['name']) > 0) {

$POST['name'] = striplashes($POST['name']);
} else {
$POST['name'] = NULL;
echo 'You forgot to enter your name!';
}
if (isset($POST['interests'])) {
$POST['ints'] = NULL;
foreach ($POST['interests'] as $POST['key'] => $POST['value']){
$POST['ints'] .= "$value, ";
}
$POST['ints'] = substr($POST['ints'], 0, -2);
$POST['interests'] = TRUE;
} else
$POST['interests'] = NULL;
echo 'You forgot to enter your interests!';

if ($POST['name'] && $POST['interests']) {
echo "Thank you, [$POST[name]}. You entered your interests as: <tt>$POST[ints]</tt>";
}
?>

Don't know quite what error you are getting, but this line needs a { instead of a [
echo "Thank you, [$_POST[name]}. You entered your interests as: <br

Some comments and critique 🙂

if (isset($_POST['name']) && strlen($_POST['name']) > 0) { // isset() added to handle undefined index error
  $_POST['name'] = striplashes($_POST['name']); 
} else { 
  $_POST['name'] = NULL; 
  echo '<p><b>You forgot to enter your name!</b></p>'; 
} 
  if (isset($_POST['interests']) && is_array($_POST['interests'])) { // Just to match above line
  $_POST['ints'] = NULL; 
  $_POST['ints'] = substr($_POST[count($_POST['interests'])-1], 0, -2); // If you just want the last 2 chars of last index of $_POST['interest']
  $_POST['interests'] = TRUE; 
} else { //Optional brace added
  $_POST['interests'] = NULL; 
  echo '<p><b>You forgot to enter your interests!</b></p>'; 
}//Optional brace added
if ($_POST['name'] && $_POST['interests']) { 
  echo "Thank you, <b>{$_POST[name]}</b>. You entered your interests as: <br /><tt>{$_POST[ints]}</tt></p>"; 
} // Few braces added

$end is generally an error that occurs when u r missing braces {}
