My client’s website has been acting quite weird. I’ve been randomly getting this warning.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSE in(server_url)/www/system/core/core.functions.php(637) : eval()‘d code on line 64
It usually clears up if I go into the templates page and click update on a random template and then refresh the page, but I’ve been getting this error quite a bit today and I’m not sure what to do.

Mark,
What version and build of EE are you on?
Do you have conditionals in your templates?
That error is usually related to a conditional syntax issue and perhaps the parse order of your template.

I’m running 1.6.7.
I do have conditionals in my templates. There are a few variables.
Suggestions? Do you need access to the site to see the code?

At first you should try to determine in which template the error occurs.
Then try to narrow down which (if there are multiple) conditional is the problematic one. Might need some reduction testing.
If you can post the code that would be helpful.

I’ve narrowed it down to this template. I know this is a lot of code but I’m not sure exactly what I can do:
{if embed:type == "preview"}

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="blog" limit="5" paginate="bottom"}

Mark, what we recommend in these cases is to create a new template and reduce what it is you are doing. If a reduced template works, add back additional elements until you figure out what broke it.
