PHP Widget Parse Error

So I wanted to plant some PHP code in my sidebar that I had in the index.php of my old theme. The code is meant to display a thumbnail that was defined for the post via the post’s meta-data. So I’m using the php-code-widget and I keep getting a parse error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in xxxx/wp-content/plugins/execphp.php(37) : eval()’d code on line 22

What I’m trying to put in there is this PHP:

<div id="my-recent-posts">
<?php query_posts('showposts=3&offset=5'); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="bits"  id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<?php $thumb = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'post-thumb', true); ?>
<?php if ($thumb != null) { ?>
<div class="post-thumb">
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><img src="<?php echo $thumb; ?>" alt="post image" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"/></a>
</div>
<?php } ?>
<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
<div class="postmeta">Posted on <strong><?php the_time('F j, Y') ?></strong> under <?php the_category(', ') ?></div>
<div class="excerpt">
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</div>
<div class="postaction">
<div class="alignleft"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">Continue Reading</a></div>
<div class="alignright comment-num"><?php comments_popup_link('0', '1', '%'); ?></div>
</div>
</div>

I’m sure that the error isn’t with the plug-in, rather the PHP I’m trying to put into the plug-in won’t play nice with it. I just don’t know what I’m doing wrong.
