does anyone know what is wrong?
the code works everywhere but on the blank sidesbox?

It would seem you've not put it into the sidebox file correctly.
But, since you've not posted the entire file, it's impossible to help you.
You also haven't said "what" parse error you're getting.
Without real information, you'll get no helpful answers.

its the tpl_blank_sidebox file

heres the entire code.

The error I am getting is this

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/wish/public_html/store/includes/templates/template_default/sideboxes/tpl_blank_sidebox.php on line 24

An editor that has syntax highlighting can save hours and hours of work !
