       										if ( function_exists( 'gold_shpcrt_display_gallery' ) ) :
       											echo gold_shpcrt_display_gallery( wpsc_the_product_id() );
   
       											if ( get_option( 'show_gallery' ) ) :
       											?>

 * If this is all the code for the page, it’s really messed up 🙂 You are getting
   that error message, in this case, because you have two if statements, one right
   after the other, without either ending the first if, or putting an else. You 
   have:
 *     ```
       <?php
       	if ( function_exists( 'gold_shpcrt_display_gallery' ) ) :
       		echo gold_shpcrt_display_gallery( wpsc_the_product_id() );
       	if ( get_option( 'show_gallery' ) ) :
       ?>
       ```
   
 * When it should be something more like:
 *     ```
       <?php
       	if ( function_exists( 'gold_shpcrt_display_gallery' ) ) :
       		echo gold_shpcrt_display_gallery( wpsc_the_product_id() );
       	endif;
       	if ( get_option( 'show_gallery' ) ) :
       ?>
       ```
   
 * Or if you need an else for whatever reason:
 *     ```
       <?php
       	if ( function_exists( 'gold_shpcrt_display_gallery' ) ) :
       		echo gold_shpcrt_display_gallery( wpsc_the_product_id() );
       	else if ( get_option( 'show_gallery' ) ) :
       ?>
       ```
   
 * If, Else, While and other conditional comments need to be closed. If you use :
   to start them, you need endif; or endwhile;. If you use open curly brackets {
   you need to close the curly bracket }

 * Keep in mind you might be closing them further down the page, but this is the
   only code you gave us, so it’s what we have to work with… if you want to paste
   all the code for the entire page, I could give you better results.
