There is a "table" started already and I think it doesn't belong...

// if everything successful create query
// this selects all rows where the type is the one you chose in the dropdown
// * means that it will select all columns, ie name and type as i said above
echo "<table>"; //<----------------------------------DELETE!!!
$sql_query = "SELECT * FROM base_data WHERE ParishName LIKE '$chooser'";

Hope this helps:

<?

/*Single result per table*/
// output data
while ($details = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
	//start table
	echo "<table>";
	
	//start row and column
	echo "<tr><td>";
		//print out name
		echo('Parish: '.$details['ParishName'].' - ');
	//end column and row
	echo "</td></tr>";
	
	//start row and column
	echo "<tr><td>";
		// print out the type
		echo('Owner Occupier Household: '.$details['OwnerOccupierHousehold'].'<br>');
	//end column and row
	echo "</td></tr>";
	
	//end table
	echo "</table>";
}

/************************************************************/

/*Multple results per table(each in a row)*/
	
//start table
echo "<table>";

// output data
while ($details = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
	
	//start row and column
	echo "<tr><td>";
		//print out name
		echo('Parish: '.$details['ParishName'].' - ');
	//end column and start new column
	echo "</td><td>";
		// print out the type
		echo('Owner Occupier Household: '.$details['OwnerOccupierHousehold'].'<br>');
	//end column and row
	echo "</td></tr>";
}

//end table
echo "</table>";
?>

that error usually means that one of the } (curly brackets) is mismatched or missing... do you mind putting your entire code here or at http://www.rafb.net/paste/ ?

you need an extra curly bracket at the bottom because this if (!empty($select)) { is still open
