PHP: "unexpected $ end" in the middle of a file

When I try to run this page (video.php) I get the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $ end in /base/path/masked/inc/functions.php on line 37

The weird thing "functions.php" has over 37 lines ... why is it detecting end of file there? I don't think I am missing any parsers or parentheses as each function is only one statement (print statement).

I did a couple of things to try and fix this issue. If I remove the statements in the function definition for print_head () and print_foot (), the error goes away (the rest of the page works fine). If I remove the instructions in one of the functions, I get the same error, only on a different line. If I move function definitions on the page, I get the same error. I even tried to remove parts of the print instruction, but I still get the same error.

EDIT:
"videos / transfer / playlist" is an example file that get_vids () loads. It is a flat txt file with an even number of lines; The odd lines are the name of the video file, and even the lines are the title that goes with the previous file. I have verified that get_vids () works as expected.

EDIT:
This is what I get when I try to run everything from the command line:

$ php -l video.php
No syntax errors detected in video.php
$ php video.php

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/nova20/http-dir/orientation/inc/functions.php on line 37
$ php -l inc/functions.php

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in inc/functions.php on line 37
Errors parsing inc/functions.php

Here's my code:

video.php:

<?php
include('inc/functions.php');

$type=$_GET['type'];
if($type == '') {
    $type = 'transfer';
}

$vidno = $_GET['vid'];
if($vidno == '') {
    $vidno = 1;
}

$vidindex = $vidno - 1;

$videos = get_vids($type);

$filename = $videos[$vidindex]['file'];
$title = $videos[$vidindex]['title'];
$basedir = "videos/$type";
$vidfile = "$basedir/$filename";

if($vidfile != '') {
    $extra = '<script src="/flowplayer/flowplayer-3.1.4.min.js"></script>';
    print_head($title, $extra);

    print <<<ENDHTML
<p>
<a
    href='$vidfile'
    style="display:block;width:640px;height:498px;"
    id="player"
></a>
</p>

<p id="contlink" style="display:none">
<a href="done.php?type=$type&vid=$vidno">Click Here to continue</a>
</p>

<script language="JavaScript">
    flowplayer(
        "player",
        "/flowplayer/flowplayer-3.1.5.swf",
        {
            clip: {
                onFinish: function(){
                    //window.location = "done.php";
                    //alert('done!');
                    document.getElementById('contlink').style.display = "block";
                }
            },
            plugins: {
                controls: {
                    play:true,
                    volume:true,
                    mute:true,
                    time:true,
                    stop:true,
                    fullscreen:true,
                    scrubber:false
                }
            }
        }
    );
</script>
ENDHTML;

    print_foot();
} else {
    print_head('OOPS!');

    print <<<ENDERROR
<h1>OOPS!</h1>
<p>
It looks like there no video here.  <a onclick="history.go(-1);return false;" href="#">Go back</a> and try again.
</p>
ENDERROR;

    print_foot();
}
?>

inc / functions.php (where I think the problem is):

<?php
function get_vids($type) {
    $base = "videos/$type";
    $playlist = "$base/playlist";

    $vidinfo = file($playlist);

    $videos = array();

    for($i = 0; $i < count($vidinfo); $i += 2) {
        $filename = trim($vidinfo[$i]);
        $title = trim($vidinfo[$i+1]);

        if($filename != '') {
            $index = $i / 2;
            $video['file'] = $filename;
            $video['title'] = $title;

            $videos[$index] = $video;
        }
    }

    return($videos);
}

function print_head($title, $extra = '') {
    print <<<ENDHEAD
<html>
<head>
<title>$title</title>
$extra
</head>
<body>

ENDHEAD;
}

function print_foot() {
    print <<<ENDFOOT

</body>
</html>
ENDFOOT;
}
?>

It does not detect the final file as such, but the logical end of the executable lines of code.

Make sure the end HEREDOC tokens (ENDHEAD; ENDFOOT;) have no spaces in front of them - at the moment when they are not the first token on the line, they do not register as end HEREDOC tokens, but as an arbitrary string within the limits , so your HEREDOC absorbs more codeblock.



What the only thing that comes to mind is that it php -l <your functions.php>

didn't install any errors for me (but adding a space before ENDHEAD gave me the error you described).

I fixed the code for you:

    <?php
include('inc/functions.php');

$type=$_GET['type'];
if($type == '') {
    $type = 'transfer';
}

$vidno = $_GET['vid'];
if($vidno == '') {
    $vidno = 1;
}

$vidindex = $vidno - 1;

$videos = get_vids($type);

$filename = $videos[$vidindex]['file'];
$title = $videos[$vidindex]['title'];
$basedir = "videos/$type";
$vidfile = "$basedir/$filename";

if($vidfile != '') {
    $extra = '<script src="/flowplayer/flowplayer-3.1.4.min.js"></script>';
    print_head($title, $extra);

    ?>
<p>
<a
    href='<?=$vidfile;?>'
    style="display:block;width:640px;height:498px;"
    id="player"
></a>
</p>

<p id="contlink" style="display:none">
<a href="done.php?type=<?=$type;?>&vid=<?=$vidno;?>">Click Here to continue</a>
</p>

<script language="JavaScript">
    flowplayer(
        "player",
        "/flowplayer/flowplayer-3.1.5.swf",
        {
            clip: {
                onFinish: function(){
                    //window.location = "done.php";
                    //alert('done!');
                    document.getElementById('contlink').style.display = "block";
                }
            },
            plugins: {
                controls: {
                    play:true,
                    volume:true,
                    mute:true,
                    time:true,
                    stop:true,
                    fullscreen:true,
                    scrubber:false
                }
            }
        }
    );
</script>
<?php

    print_foot();
} else {
    print_head('OOPS!');

?>
<h1>OOPS!</h1>
<p>
It looks like there no video here.  <a onclick="history.go(-1);return false;" href="#">Go back</a> and try again.
</p>
<?php

    print_foot();
}
?>


You can just open and close php tags around the html you want to display - as you will see above :)

Hope it helps
