Parse error: syntax error, unexpected token "endwhile" when upgrading PHP to 8.0

byMR

November 21, 2022

I recently tried to update my website PHP to 8.0 but I am getting the following error on one of my templates:

"Parse error: syntax error, unexpected token "endwhile" on line 118."

When I revert back to PHP 7.4 it starts working again but I know it is soon to become obsolete.

Please find the code below:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
