You have open braces after the first if statement but you don't close them and then you don't have any braces surrounding the else

if($match)
{

?>


$rand_num = rand(1, 100);
if($rand_num < 10)  <----------

echo "you comes from yahoo, click the link to proceed.";

else

Also you have endwhile and endif statements. I didn't think they were in php but in vb.net....

I was originally going to look at your code but when I saw the lack of code tags I decided against it. And wouldn't it make sense to tell us exactly what errors you are getting? I thought so anyway...
