# end php for a listing

 * I found some code that I think will show a link back to parent page.
 *     ```
       if ($post->post_parent) {
       $parent = get_post($post->post_parent);
       if ($parent->post_parent) {
       $children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$parent->post_parent."&depth=1&echo=0&sort_column=menu_order");
       } else {
       $children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->post_parent."&depth=1&echo=0&sort_column=menu_order");
       }
       } else {
       $children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=".$post->ID."&echo=0&depth=1&sort_column=menu_order");
       }
       if ($children) echo "
             " . $children . "
       ";
       ```
   
 * I tried having `<?php` at the start and ending with `?><?php } ?>` and variations
   of that but keep breaking the site. How can I end the code so it will display?

 * this shows a link back to parent page.
 *     ```
       <?php
          if (!empty($post->post_parent)) {
           $parentTitle = get_the_title($post->post_parent);?>
         <a href="<?php echo get_permalink($post->post_parent); ?>" title="<?php echo $parentTitle; ?>">Back to <?php echo $parentTitle; ?></a>
         <?php } ?>
       ```
