Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in

I was editing the index file and did something wrong.

Now get this message:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in....line 7

I know it's simple but I can't figure out what I have done. I searched other posts but with no answer!

Your code is badly done.

Anyway, all HTML code must be within echo.

Eg:

<?php echo 'hello world'; ?>

Code (php):

 

You opened a PHP block and didn't close it with ?> before the raw HTML. Also you opened an if statement that is empty and not closed by }

 

Thank-you both so much, it must be annoying to see people make stupid mistakes and watching people mess things up so easily.

You have seriously really helped me, I am in a very remote part of the world with NO ONE to ask about this.

Smile, because you have really helped me out.
