In this case take a look at line 13 (though with PHP error reporting - 
with any language's error reporting, actually - the error might not 
actually be on the line mentioned in the report). If you intentionally 
left off the semicolon as was suggested in a previous post, to see what 
would happen, then the error message is saying "Hey, you left something 
off!".  The parser was expecting to see a ',' or a ';' but it found a '}' 
instead.

If this error message doesn't seem to jibe with what you expect, then 
post the entire php file so we can look at it and we'll figure out what 
the error was.
