Simple error, but I am lost please help.

This is for a custom SMF chat box I am working with. I need a simple script to delete all of the info from a table. The code is returning an error though:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in /home/playtotd/public_html/play/deletelivechatmessages.php on line 21

You are missing a closing parens in your second if statement

And you should use $smcFunc instead of direct mysql function calls
