# Footer.php file generates a Parse Error

 * I’ve setup a local installation for testing my site and it works perfectly fine,
   without any errors. But if I upload it (all the files) to a hosting service, 
   it generates this error on the site:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/mc7xdp1h6n52dwjt/******.***/
   wp-content/themes/******_***/footer.php on line 13
 * Unfortunately, Line 13 says: </html>, and if I get rid of that, the next line
   up is </body>, and that generates the same error, with line number changing to
   12.
 * Here’s the full file:
 *     ```
       <div id="foot">
       				<p>
       					<?php bloginfo('name'); ?> powered by
       	<a href="http://wordpress.org/">WordPress</a>
       					<?php if (!is_page()) : ?>
   
       					<!-- <?php echo get_num_queries(); ?> queries. <?php timer_stop(1); ?> seconds. -->
       				</p>
       			</div>
       		</div>
       		<?php wp_footer(); ?>
       	</body>
       </html>
       ```
   
 * Any ideas on how to get rid of this error?

 * your `<?php if (!is_page()) :` does not have an `endif;` .

 * Hmmm…if that’s really the problem, then it should also give me that error on 
   my local installation of it, but it doesn’t. In any case, I’ll get rid of that
   and see if that solves the problem. If not, I’ll just comment out everything 
   I don’t want.
