On line 19, is that opening curly brace supposed to be there?

@Markus
kindly plss track the wrong code and do the require changes in it.... m new to php so slightly confused to trying anything...

[Markus]

I have tracked the error, and also told you where it is. Now you do the work.

Edit. Please do not modify the original code, without telling us that you have done so. The code, as it is now, should not be producing the error.
