    I'm trying to make a featured posts banner with the title of the posts hovering over thumbnail sized images. Unfortunately, I'm getting a very annoying parse error:
    Line 230 is the very last line.

    Here's the code snippet:

    //Main Banner
function main_banner() {
add_image_size('mycustomsize', 240, 160, true);
$my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=featured&showposts=4'); while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); $do_not_duplicate = $post->ID;
echo '<ul id="review-banner">';
          echo '<li style="background: url(';
		  the_post_thumbnail('mycustomsize');
		  echo ') no-repeat;"><h2><a href="URLToAPost">PostTitle</a></h2></li>';
		  echo '<li style="background: url(';
		  the_post_thumbnail('mycustomsize');
		  echo ') no-repeat;"><h2><a href="URLToAPost">PostTitle2</a></h2></li>';
          echo '<li style="background: url(';
		  the_post_thumbnail('mycustomsize');
		  echo ') no-repeat;"><h2><a href="URLToAPost">PostTitle3</a></h2></li>';
          echo '<li class="review-banner-last" style="background: url(';
		  the_post_thumbnail('mycustomsize');
		  echo ') no-repeat;"><h2><a href="URLToAPost">PostTitle4</a></h2></li>';
echo '</ul>'; 
}
    PHP:
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You didn't close the while loop.

    
//Main Banner
function main_banner() {
add_image_size('mycustomsize', 240, 160, true);
$my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=featured&showposts=4'); 

while ($my_query->have_posts()) : 

	$my_query->the_post(); 
	$do_not_duplicate = $post->ID;
	echo '<ul id="review-banner">';
	echo '<li style="background: url(';
	the_post_thumbnail('mycustomsize');
	echo ') no-repeat;"><h2><a href="URLToAPost">PostTitle</a></h2></li>';
	echo '<li style="background: url(';
	the_post_thumbnail('mycustomsize');
	echo ') no-repeat;"><h2><a href="URLToAPost">PostTitle2</a></h2></li>';
	echo '<li style="background: url(';
	the_post_thumbnail('mycustomsize');
	echo ') no-repeat;"><h2><a href="URLToAPost">PostTitle3</a></h2></li>';
	echo '<li class="review-banner-last" style="background: url(';
	the_post_thumbnail('mycustomsize');
	echo ') no-repeat;"><h2><a href="URLToAPost">PostTitle4</a></h2></li>';
	echo '</ul>';
endwhile;
}
