I have some HTML/PHP code in Dreamweaver and for the life of me I cannot figure out the cause of this error. The error reads, “There is a syntax error on line 318. Code hinting may not work until you fix this error.” Could someone help? And yes, I know I have terrible commenting practice and variable nomenclature. The code can also be found here

<?php
require $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/resources/feeds.php';
require $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/resources/mysql.php';
session_start();
if(empty($_SESSION['username']) || $_SESSION['login'] != 'true'){ header("location:/"); }
?>

Your problem comes from this bit of code:

             <?php if(isset($_POST['isyac'])) {
            echo "<script language='javascript'>window.backUpHtml = document.getElementById('con_div').innerHTML;   
            document.getElementById('con_div').innerHTML = '';</script>"; ?>
        }

the closing brace } needs to be inside the php tags (before the ?>)
