help me... :)

[N!ck]

This gives me a parse error (see below). Help!

PHP Code:

<?
$numposts = 30; // Number of posts to show:
$viewprivate = "off"; // View messages in private forums?  ("on" or "off")
// ^-- Note: setting this to "off" may cause less posts than set to appear.
// SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES
$showactive = "on"; // Show active users?  ("on" or "off")...this adds one query
$showactivenumbers = "on"; // Show the NUMBER of active guests/members? ("on"/"off")...this adds two queries
// Do not edit past this point unless you know what you're doing.

$templatesused .= "latest,latestbit";
if ($showactive == "on") {
 $templatesused .= ",latest_activeusers";
}
require("./global.php");

if ($showactivenumbers == "on") {
 $datecut = time()-$cookietimeout;
 $activeguests = $DB_site->num_rows($DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM session WHERE userid = 0 AND lastactivity > $datecut"));
 $activeusers = $DB_site->num_rows($DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM session WHERE userid > 0 AND lastactivity > $datecut"));
 $totalonline = $activeusers + $activeguests;
 $output .= eval(\"".gettemplate("latest_activeusers")."\"\;");
}

$threadsql = $DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM thread ORDER BY lastpost DESC LIMIT $numposts");

  if ($viewprivate == "off") {
   while ($thread = $DB_site->fetch_array($threadsql)) {
    $perms = getpermissions($thread[forumid]);
    if ($perms[canview]) {
     eval("\$latest .= \"".gettemplate("latestbit")."\";");
    }
   }
  } else {
   while ($thread = $DB_site->fetch_array($threadsql)) {
    eval("\$latest .= \"".gettemplate("latestbit")."\";");
   }
  }
$output .= eval(\"".gettemplate("latest")."\"\;");
eval("dooutput(\"$output\");");
?>

The error:
