Parse error

hello, yet another error from me

here is what i get when i click the private message like:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ELSE in /home/aq2zbea/public_html/private.php on line 1040

the bit of php code is as follows:

PHP Code:

                        // bbuser is being ignored by recipient - do not send, but do not error
                        $tostring["$user[userid]"] = $user['username'];
                        continue;
                    }
                }
                else <<<<<---- THIS IS LINE 1040!
                {
                    cache_permissions($user, false);
                    if ($user['permissions'] < 1)
                    {
                        // recipient has no pm permission

You will have to post the code that is before this, until the first 'if'

ok, go to www.a-2z.com/private.phps

[Marco van Herwaarden]

PHP Code:

                       // bbuser is being ignored by recipient - do not send, but do not error
                        $tostring["$user[userid]"] = $user['username'];
                        continue;
                    }   <-- this line don't seem to have a matching openin bracket
                }

Ohh and please remove that file ASAP

[lewisbeech]

yes, i did remove the private.php file when i found that there was a problem.
and you gave me that code, but what do i add? i am not very good with php scripts.

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Well difficult for me to guess what it should be. I guess that either the line i marked should be removed, or there should have been an if-statement 2 lines before.

Pease triple check your instructions.
