It will be easier if you post an error msg, that way we will know where to look. you code it way too long, 1. we have to figure out what you trying to do, and also figure out what you are doing wrong... that's too much.

rather send an error msg you are getting, it will probable point us to a line with an error and give u a clue of what it could be.

please copy and paste only line 10. I cant tell which Is line 10 because this could be part of the code in your page.

This is line 10
Language: PHP
switch ($_GET[';action';]) {

And it doesn't make sense to me because the action is already declared.

Check the lines before line 10. It could be that it is saying the error is on line 10, but further up you have forgotten a ; or { . It also means that a certain variable is not declared yet.
