Haluk,
I could suggest a number of ways around the if/else construct, such as
creating a subclass for the various servers with a uniform interface
and hiding the differences inside the class. The actual error that you
showed is much simpler, however: you are mixing curly-brace style with
what I like to call "visual basic" style of PHP. You have an opening
curly-brace without a closing one (and an empty while-loop to boot).
You can use either-or style, but you can't mix them and leave unclosed
braces as you've done below :-)
