my search box is not working properly, and I cannot see where my brackets are not closing, but am consistently getting the "unexpected $" error message when performing the search within my site.

All else 'should' be working fine, but can someone take a look at see what they can come up with? I would appreciate the help.

here is the site, middle right is search box: firstprizefranchise.com

here is the code in question, from the source file search.php :

<?php
$search_count = 0;
$search = new WP_Query("s=$s & showposts=-1");
if($search->have_posts()) : while($search->have_posts()) : $search->the_post();
$search_count++;
endwhile; endif;
?>

can you identify line 137? That is where the error is occuring, so it will save a lot of looking if we can find the area pretty quickly.

line 137 is the very last line - which there is nothing on...

so, somewhere the brackets are not closed...

line 137 is here:

130: <script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript">
131:</script>
132:<script type="text/javascript">
133:_uacct = "UA-1315439-1";
134:urchinTracker();
135:</script>
136:
137:</html>

here it is again: <?php
$search_count = 0;
$search = new WP_Query("s=$s & showposts=-1");
if($search->have_posts()) : while($search->have_posts()) : $search->the_post();
$search_count++;
endwhile; endif;

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/content/b/r/a/brandexpansion/html/firstprizefranchise.com/wp-content/themes/fpf/search.php on line 137
I meant in the page it mentions:
/home/content/b/r/a/brandexpansion/html/firstprizefranchise.com/wp-content/themes/fpf/search.php


PS: long file path, what's the deal with that?

I am giving you the entire page from file search.php, from that path....

and the lines are according to the earlier post...

PS. we run about 147 sites from one server and most, if not all, files are used throughout each site...thus the path to this page is long, because it comes off of a wordpress theme (custom) and is used elsewhere...(i think!)...

thanks for your help,
Ray
