Unexpected T_ELSE parse error

[ghost]

daris,

I have installed your last topic mod as instructed, along with the subforum instructions as well, as I make use of that mod too. Upon refreshing my forums index, I receive the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSE in /home/kamihe5/public_html/porcelaindiaries.com/index.php on line 173

This is the code from those lines in index.php: (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v255/RHyugi2/lasttopicerror.png)

// If there is a last_post/last_poster if ($cur_forum['last_post'] != '')

else if ($cur_forum['redirect_url'] != '')
    $last_post = '- - -';
else
    $last_post = $lang_common['Never'];

If you could help me out with the code, I would much appreciate it.

Thanks

[daris]

Can you post full index.php file content?

if ($cur_forum['last_post'] != '')

else if ($cur_forum['redirect_url'] != '')

There is a one line missing between if and else if. Are you sure you did everything correctly?
