   Hi, I'm new around here so I'm not to sure if this is where I am suppose to post for help, but here I go.

   I'm getting the "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\themes\Typo Theme\sidebar.php on line 76"

   I read that this is due to I believe an unclosed bracket or something. Not sure.

   I've been going through my code and have not found anything, but then again I still new at this. Hoping someone more experience could point out what the problem is and I can learn. Thanks!

   Here is my code:

   <aside id="sidebar">
   
   		<section id="about">
   
   				<h3>About me</h3>
   
   				<p><?php get_option('omr_about_excerpt'); ?> <a href="<?php get_option(omr_about_link); ?>" class="more">Find out more &raquo;</a></p>
   
   		</section>
   
   		<section id="categories">
   
   				<h3>Categories</h3>
   
   				<ul>
   					<?php wp_list_categories('show_count=0&title_li=&hide_empty=0&exclude=1'); ?>
   				</ul>
   
   		</section>
   
   		<section id="social">
   
   				<h3>Social</h3>
   
   				<ul>
   
   					<?php if ( !get_option( 'omr_social-one') ) { ?>
   
   						<?php } else { ?>
   
   					<li><a href="<?php echo get_option('omr_social-one_url'); ?>"><?php echo get_option('omr_social-one'); ?></a></li>
   
   					<?php if ( !get_option('omr_social-six' ) ) { ?>
   
   						<?php } else { ?>
   
   						<li><a href="<?php get_option('omr_social-six_url'); ?>"><?php echo get_option('omr_social-six'); ?></a></li>
   
   					<?php } ?>
   
   				</ul>
   
   		</section>
   
   		<section id="latest">
   
   			<h3>Latest Posts</h3>
   			<ul>
   				<?php query_posts('showposts=6');
   					if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
   
   					<li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
   
   					<?php endwhile; else: ?>
   
   						<li>No posts found</li>
   
   					<?php endif; ?>
   
   				<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
   			</ul>
   
   		</section>
   
   		<section id="search">
   
   				<h3>Search</h3>
   
   				<form method="get" action="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/">
   						<fieldset>
   								<input type="text" id="searchbar" placeholder="I'm looking for&hellip;" />
   						</fieldset>
   				</form>
   		</section>
   
   </aside>

   For sections of code that long, you really should paste them at pastebin.com and then post a link to them here.

   Pastebin will automatically number every line of your code, so we that don't have to count 76 lines of your code.

   I read that this is due to I believe an unclosed bracket or something. Not sure.

   Feel free to Google those error codes. The answer you are looking for is usually in one of the first ten results. For example, when I googled "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end", I get these results:

   http://www.google.com/search?q=Parse+error%3A+syntax+error%2C+unexpected+%24end&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&channel=rcs

   Yes, you are missing a closing ?> somewhere. I would suggest that you use a text editor like Notepad++, which highlights code in a way that makes it really easy to find these errors.
