I keep getting this error:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /usr/www/users/yoder/mr2test/scripts/giveaid.php on line 178
line 178 = ?>
what does this mean?more than likely you forgot a closing } somewhere.Maybe if you post your code, some one might be able to point out the exact problem.
A 'Parse' Error means that php doesnt understand what is on that line. Because it is a ?>, as scoutt said, you have most likely missed a } or ; somewhere 
here is the code, it's long so i was nervous to post:
