Okay, well looking at line 48 (where the error is), it seems that you've missed a closing parentheses. That is, lines 47/48 should read:
$sth->bind_param(14, $girls) ); or die "Could not prepare SQL: " . $dbh->errstr();

Wrong, wrong, wrong!!! (sigh - it's too early in the morning :/)

Anyway, it looks like line 48 is completely meaningless, so you should just remove it altogether.

or die "Could not prepare SQL: " . $dbh->errstr();
A statement like that on it's own has no meaning.

So what you actually want is:

$sth->bind_param(14, $girls); $sth->execute(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14) or die "Could not execute SQL: " . $dbh->errstr();

Note that the trailing semi-colon has been removed from the $sth->execute line.

Cheers,
Darren :)
