[FAQ] Parse/Syntax error, unexpected $ or $end

Janwillem Borleffs

Q: I'm getting an unexpected $ or $end parse/syntax error, what's causing
this?
A: This is caused when an expression is started with an opening brace, but
the closing brace is omitted.

Examples:

if ($condition) {
....
// No closing brace; the error is thrown

function foo () {
....
// No closing brace; the error is thrown
