I do trust the errors it gives me and I honestly did add a semi colon to the end which didn't solve the problem. I did try my hardest to solve this on my own but once I get the error shifted from one thing it moves on to the next and it feels like I'm getting further away from getting this done.

Adding the semi colon gave me: 

syntax error at chat.pl line 90, near "qq(<a href="log.pl" target="new
+">chat logs</a>);"
