What does want me to do? I dont understand how or where to add ")"

Here is the line of code (the line they are referring to is the first line below starting with 'global") :

global $fslct );} 
$fslct['country']= array(

'Country','1','keyword','1:30','select2','1','text', 'city','selectparam'),

    You need to provide more context (e.g., the portion of code above this code snippet).

      It looks like the "global $fslct )" is completely out of place. If you really want it, place it above the array declaration, and change it to:

      global $fslct;


        PS Here is what the readme file says on how to maybe make it show...i did the best I could in understanding it.

        To set up an ad field you must define 8 different parts in each field.
        Each different field within the ad is described as the following example:
        'comp' => array('Company',"12",'keyword','20:30','text', '1','text', 'selectparam'),
        where
        'comp' - is short name of the field (it is required for script using) ;
        'Company' = displayed name of the field. This is the name of the field
        that will appear on the form;

           '12' - parameter which shows how this field will be displayed:
           '1' - only at the first page (ads index);
           '2' - only at the second page ( 'detailed info');
           '12' - on both first and second pages;
           '00' - is not displayed on pages (hidden fields). 
          'keyword' = search parameter that sets the principle of search, it must have
          one of three different values explained below: 
               'keyword' = defines this as a search field. Users will be able to search
               for keys in this field; 
               'minmax' = when field has numerical value, it will be searched in range
               [minvalue, maxvalue]; 
               'nosearch' = not a search field. No search for keys in this field; 
        
          '20:30' = defines the length of the input field in ad submitting form(20) and 
                   max length of the info in this field (30).
           If field type ( see below) is 'textarea' at this place you will have e.g. the following:
           '40:6:2000' - where 40 - number of cols, 6 - number of rows, 2000 - max size of the field.  
           ( See our default settings in config.php ).
        
          'text' = type of input field, it can be 'text' or 'select', 'checkbox', 'textarea'.  
           ( See our default settings in config.php )
        
           "1" - means this field reqired to be filled out ("0" is not required).
        
          'text' - parameter means MySQL type for this field, it can be text, char(n), integer,
                   real...
          'selectparam' - this last parameter can appear only for fields types
                          'select' and 'checkbox', this parameter means default values for 
                           users' choice. All values are separated by delimiter "<option>"
                          See our default settings in config.php file for fields with types
                           'select' and 'checkbox' to understand how it works.

        Warning ! If you add new ads fields you will have to re-create mysql
        table for classifieds ads via the script createtb.php .

        The fields list should contain standard ad fields with the following short names:
        "passw" - password for ad edition;
        "email" - contact e-mail;
        "urlpage" - Home page URL;
        "title" - Title;
        "brief" - brief description;

        keyword in the fields "keyword" of the search form on the ads index page will be searched
        in the ad fields with short names "title", and "brief".

        Standart fields with short names "passw", "email", "urlpage" should have

        "00" parameter of page displaying (see above).

        If you need to set up two-level fields selection e.g. for choosing country/city, then
        in the file conf_cat.php in the variable $ads_fields you have to set up the following fields:

        'country' => array('Country','12','keyword','1:30','select2','1','text', 'city'),
        'city' => array('City','12','keyword','1:30','select3','1','text', 'country'),

        where "country" is a short name of parent field (e.g. country, maker),
        "city" – short name of dependent field (e.g. city, model).
        You also have to set up short names of these fields in variable $fields_sets for fields sets.

          Place it above WHICH array...Please be specific with me as I want to be accurate.

            PS is the "global $fslct; " part of making the country/city list drop down? That is the only reason why I have it in there.

              global $fslct )
              $fslct['country']= array(
              
              'Country','1','keyword','1:30','select2','1','text', 'city','selectparam'),
              
              'USA' => array(
                    'Akron OH','Albany NY','Albuquerque NM','Allentown PA','Anchorage AK','Atlanta GA','Atlantic City NJ','Austin TX','Baltimore MD','Baton Rouge LA','Billings MT','Birmingham AL','Bismarck ND','Boise ID','Boston MA','Buffalo NY','Burlington

                Place it above WHICH array...Please be specific with me as I want to be accurate.

                I would say everything, but I notice that the array declaration that follows it looks out of place too.

                PS is the "global $fslct; " part of making the country/city list drop down?

                It is not. Assuming that this code is within a function, it makes the global variable $fslct available in this function.

                I suggest that you read the PHP manual on the exact syntax of arrays. Debugging this would be much easier if the arrays are well formatted to reflect their nested structure.

                  I took out "keyword" because I didn't need it. Its not out of place anymore.
                  However I'm still getting the error. I have to keep this format of array's because of the script. So can't you let me know how to make this error go and show me the form with the country/city dropdown list? I still have the code the same as I posted above.
                  THANKS SO MUCH for writing me back it gave me some comfort in getting this tackled.

                    hmm... what is your current code? It would be good if you could indent it, e.g.,

                    $mb_fields = array(
                        'login' => array('Nickname','12','nosearch','20:50', 'text','1','text'),
                        'passw' => array('Password','12','nosearch','20:50', 'text','1','text')
                        );

                          Will wait patiently for a reply. THANKS SO MUCH I got rid of the other error with the arrays. I made them look the same--figured out what ya ment..hahaha

                            Your array definitions must end with a semi-colon (just like every other PHP command), and the parentheses must all balance out. Also, the last element of an array must not have a comma after it. For example:

                            <?php
                            $example = array(
                               'index1' => array('value1', 'value2'),
                               'index2' => array('value3', 'value4'),
                               'more_complicated' => array(
                                  'complex1' => array('c1', 'c2', 'c3'),
                                  'complex2' => array('c4', 'c5')
                               ),
                               'index3' => 'simple'
                            );
