   I have two hints:   
      
   1. Post the actual script, not a different script that is “something   
      like” it.   
      
   2. Post the errors you get, not just say that they are “syntax errors”.   
      
   I have no idea why you think anyone would be able to debug your real   
   script when they can’t see it. We’re not telepaths.
