I have a 638 line glob of PHP code & HTML that won't run.
I get "PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in quiz\\quiz.php
on line 594".
I wrote a brace checker that checks perens, square brackets, and curly
braces for mismatches & opens and it checks out perfect. so I don't
know what it is about the curly brace error. it's false.
anybody have a clue as to what the real error might be? the code looks
pristine to me.

It does appear, from that description, that the error is in error.
But, just on a lark, look to see if you have "{$" inside a string somewhere.
Curly bracket followed by a dollar sign tells PHP that it's a complex,
inline variable.
So, if you that, it could produce the error you describe, without raising
the alarm with your bracket-checker.

Jim,
Obviously there's a mismatch somewhere :-). Did your brace checker
ignore braces within strings? Or within comments? Either one can throw
it off.
Try a editor with syntax highlighting. On Windows I recommend Crimson;
it has the added advantage of matching up braces for you.

An unexpected '}' doesn't mean that curly brace should not be there. For
me, most of the time I get this it means the previous expression wasn't
finished (missing ')' or ';'). If you'd have posted you code leading up to
the offending brace at line 594 maybe we could spot it...

it ignores within comments. and as I said, braces match.

Ah, an attachment, that's why there was no code in the post. As this group
hasn't got 'binary' or 'binaries' in its name it didn't even occur to
check to me to check for that :).
Allthough it's a big nono to post attachments, a quick look learns me I
will unfortunatly not check this code. This is truly a maintenance
nightmare. Templates and/or isolating some deeply nested
if/else/while/switch statements seems to be badly needed.

A "php -l" did not yield a parsing error AND the file is 692 lines long
(not 638) AND it is not matching the filename from the error message, so
I doubt the file in question was attached...
Your remarks about isolating are right. Just take out inner blocks until
the error message fades away. Go back one step and find the error
position...

Any thoughts on making explicit calls to unexpected()? My sense is
that this function is really intended to be invoked automatically as
