Unexpected "$" Sign On Last Line Of File even if i change the line nos its there

[electriic ink 1]

I am trying to create a file which send mail after a user has filled in the appropiate fields in a form. It checks to see whether the required fields are full, writes some mail headers and sends it.

 

When I check to see if the code works, I get this error:

 

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/cmatcme/public_html/affliates.cmat on line 203

 

The funny thing is that regardelss of how long I make the file, the file always appear on the final line, whether I leave it blank or just put ?>. I understand that these errors can sometimes be caused by other lines in the file so I post all of the code:

 

<?if(!$_REQUEST["task"] == "checkaffvalid") {$title = "Affliates :: Please Fill Out The Form";include "header.php";?><h3> Affliates </h3> If you wish to become an affliate all you have  to do is fill out this simple form.

Thanks to all who attempt to help.

I think I have found the problem, on line 154 you open an else, but never close the curly braces:

echo $errortxtnofill . $emptyfield;} else {     <--- THIS LINE$en = 0;

I am not exactly sure where the closing } should go as I haven't read your entire script, but I am sure you can fix it.

Bingo! While fixing that error I also found that I didn't close and else right at the end of the document. Both triggered the error.Thanks for your help. It is much appreciated
