supporter code in theme files – help.

Alrighty, I can’t quite figure out how to use the supporter code in my theme. I’m not too well-versed in php.

I’m trying to add some adsense blocks & have an alternative banner display if the blog is a supporter blog, coded in via a different function. What am I doing wrong here? I’m getting a "syntax error, unexpected ‘}’" @ the else.

---

<?php if (supporter_hide_ads()) {

newThemeOptions_showHeaderBanner()

} else {

<script type="text/javascript"><!–

google_ad_client = "";

google_ad_slot = "";

google_ad_width = 468;

google_ad_height = 60;

//–>

</script>

<script type="text/javascript"

src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"&gt;

</script>

}?>

Furthermore, how is the above code different from the following (from the instructions)? Is it simply not triggered by the "disable ads" in the menu?

---

if (is_supporter()) {

//blog has been upgraded to a supporter

//code or content goes here

} else {

//blog has not been upgraded to a supporter

//code or content goes here

}

Thanks…
