script returns error...:(

this produces a parse error on the last line (supposedly...)

help!

PHP Code:

<?
// Latest Threads on Your Desktop
// SPECIAL EDITION
// Settings:
$numposts = 30; // Number of posts to show
$viewprivate = "off"; // View messages and announcements in private forums? ("on"/"off")
// ^-- Note: setting this to "off" may cause less posts than set to appear.
$announcements = "on"; // Show announcements?  ("on"/"off")
$announcementsn = 5; // Number of announcements to show.
// Do not edit past this point unless you know what you're doing.

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

if ($announcements == "on") {
 $announcementsql = $DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM announcement ORDER BY startdate DESC, enddate LIMIT $announcementsn");
 if ($viewprivate == "off") {
  while ($announcement = $DB_site->fetch_array($announcementsql)) {
   $aperms = getpermissions($announcement['forumid']);
   if ($aperms[canview]) {
    eval("\$latest .= \"".gettemplate("latestbit_announcement")."\";");
   }
  }
 } else {
  while ($latestbit_announcement = $DB_site->fetch_array($announcementsql)) {
   eval("\$latest .= \"".gettemplate("latestbit_announcement")."\";");
  }
 }

$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")."\";");
   }
  }
eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('latest')."\");");
?>

You are using ' ' in your last line instead of " "

eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('latest')."\");");

Must probably be:

eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("latest")."\");");

nah...that's not it

You forgot a } on the end, so the good script is like this:

PHP Code:

<?
// Latest Threads on Your Desktop
// SPECIAL EDITION
// Settings:
$numposts = 30; // Number of posts to show
$viewprivate = "off"; // View messages and announcements in private forums? ("on"/"off")
// ^-- Note: setting this to "off" may cause less posts than set to appear.
$announcements = "on"; // Show announcements?  ("on"/"off")
$announcementsn = 5; // Number of announcements to show.
// Do not edit past this point unless you know what you're doing.

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

if ($announcements == "on") {
 $announcementsql = $DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM announcement ORDER BY startdate DESC, enddate LIMIT $announcementsn");
 if ($viewprivate == "off") {
  while ($announcement = $DB_site->fetch_array($announcementsql)) {
   $aperms = getpermissions($announcement['forumid']);
   if ($aperms[canview]) {
    eval("\$latest .= \"".gettemplate("latestbit_announcement")."\";");
   }
  }
 } else {
  while ($latestbit_announcement = $DB_site->fetch_array($announcementsql)) {
   eval("\$latest .= \"".gettemplate("latestbit_announcement")."\";");
  }
 }

$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")."\";");
   }
  }
eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('latest')."\");");
}
?>
