Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSE

[Waterbird]

Hi guys,

On my site, I get this error like, on the main page.

"Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSE in /home/a5437432/public_html/news.php on line 581"

Since I can't post the whole file, I'll post only to where it's pertaining at.

eval ("\$news_archive_foot = \"".gettemplate("news_archive_foot")."\";");
echo $news_archive_foot;
unset($ds);

}
else echo'no entries';

else
{
echo $title_news;

$post='';
$publish='';
if(isnewsadmin($userID)) {
	$post='<input type="button" class="button" onClick="MM_openBrWindow(\'news.php?action=new\',\'News\',\'toolbar=no,status=no,scrollbars=yes,width=800,height=600\')" value="post News">';
	$unpublished=safe_query("SELECT newsID FROM ".PREFIX."news WHERE published='0' AND saved='1'");
	$unpublished=mysql_num_rows($unpublished);
	if($unpublished) $publish='<input type="button" class="button" onClick="MM_goToURL(\'parent\',\'index.php?site=news&action=unpublished\');return document.MM_returnValue" value="'.$unpublished.' unpublished News"> ';
}[/QUOTE]

Any help?

Your logical structure doesn't make sense; why do you have two 'else' statements in a row?

I don't know, I brought the template for my website, and it had come with that file.

Is there anyway to fix it?

Erm... well yeah, modify the logic so that it makes sense. 🙂

If I gave you this command, what would you do? "If you are not Human, Turn Left, else Turn Right, else Turn Around."

If you answered "Stare at you like you're a raving lunatic" then you're right - logically my instruction didn't make sense. How do you "correct" my instruction? Well you don't know - that's for me to decide (depending upon what I actually wanted to happen).

Same goes for your code.
