Syntax error Unexpected $end

[Appa306]

I am a relative Zencart newbie, and I have a problem that I cannot solve. I have tried all the suggestions that I can find in this forum, and none of them have helped yet.

My site was working correctly until 3 days ago, and since that time, when I try to go from Step 1 of 3 in my checkout process, the process hangs up. I am using 1.3.9h.

The error is as follows:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/content/51/7938251/html/zencart/includes/modules/payment/authorizenet_aim.php on line 871

I used the developers tool kit and discovered that I needed to reload the original files to ensure that I had the language file and module file in the correct spot, and it made no difference. So far, I have not put my modifications back into the files until I can resolve the error.

The last few lines of the referenced module are:
if ($response_code != '1' || ($response[0]==1 && $response[2] == 310) ) {
$messageStack->add_session($response_alert, 'error');
} else {
// Success, so save the results
$sql_data_array = array('orders_id' => (int)$oID,
'orders_status_id' => (int)$new_order_status,
'date_added' => 'now()',
'comments' => 'VOIDED. Trans ID: ' . $response[6] . ' ' . $response[4] . "\n" . $voidNote,
'customer_notified' => 0
);
zen_db_perform(TABLE_ORDERS_STATUS_HISTORY, $sql_data_array);
$db->Execute("update " . TABLE_ORDERS . "
set orders_status = '" . (int)$new_order_status . "'
where orders_id = '" . (int)$oID . "'");
$messageStack->add_session(sprintf(MODULE_PAYMENT_AUTHORIZENET_AIM_TEXT_VOID_INITIATED, $response[6], $response[4]), 'success');
return true;
}
return false;
}
?>

I would appreciate any assistance that anyone can offer on this holiday.

Do not ask me why it is as it is, but I have resolved my problem. The only thing that I can identify that I did to fix it was to put the code at the end of the module back to the way it was when the error message first appeared; i.e. I put an additional } between the return true and return false statements, and I changed the ?> back to a }. Now it is working? Sometimes computers can be very exasperating, as I lost my entire holiday weekend on this issue.

Thanks to all who read the post, even though no one had any ideas for solution it is comforting to know that they are being read.

Hope you had a wonderful Fourth!

One tip: In Zen 1.3.9, there's a file created in the cache directory when a parse error occurs on a page; you can use this information to track down the error. The filename ends with log and the name contains the date and a string which indicates whether it happened in the admin - it will be obvious to you which one it is.
