# Error in functions.php after adding code

 *  Resolved [RoseCitySister](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rosecitysister/)
 * (@rosecitysister)
 * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-in-functionsphp-after-adding-code/)
 * I am trying to add the ability for users to add a custom footer image in the 
   Theme Customizer. Followed the tutorial at ottopress.com, and the code I added
   to functions.php (below) is at lines 8-54. The message I get when I use a code
   checker is:
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in CODE on line 133
    Errors parsing
   CODE
 * I am not very good at PHP, in fact pretty much a brand-newbie. Up to now I’ve
   been just messing around a little bit but mostly copying/pasting. I have already
   started studying it but I want to fix this NOW. Can someone help me pleeeeeeeeeeze?
 * Site – [http://rosecitygardens.com/testsite/wordpress/](http://rosecitygardens.com/testsite/wordpress/)(
   note that I took the revised function file out and it’s using the original now).
 * Here is my revised that keeps throwing an error:
 *     ```

 * I might add that when I check each piece of code separately, the code that I 
   added and the original functions.php, I don’t get an error on either.

   use?

 * I don’t think it’s the word $end they’re talking about. I think it might have
   something to do with brackets. But I checked the syntax over and over again. 
   🙁

 * You were missing two ending brackets at the beginning of the file and you appeared
   to have some redundant code at lines 28-49. I cleaned it up a bit and pasted 
   it at [http://pastebin.com/NH6rsnbh](http://pastebin.com/NH6rsnbh). Give it a
   try.
 * As a side note, when I pasted your original code into my WordPress installation,
   I got the error message “Parse: syntax error, unexpected end of file”, which 
   would have been a lot more useful.

 * Well, I don’t have an error now but I still didn’t accomplish what I wanted to
   do, which was add the ability to change the footer image in the Theme Customizer.
   I’ve been at this all day. 🙁
 * Thanks for your help. You wouldn’t happen to know what I’m doing wrong, would
   you?

   for your help!
