You didn't mention if the parse error was coming from PHP or from MySQL.
The PHP syntax looks okay to me at first glance (that is, a quick look
through indicates that there appears to be appropriate numbers of
semicolons and closing braces).
So perhaps the thing issuing the parse error is MySQL? In that case, I'd
hazard a guess that you don't have a table named products. Check the
spelling, capitalization, whether it's the plural "products" or the
singular "product." What helps me say this is that the INSERT statement
above your line 52 inserts into a table called "JShistbau" and your SELECT
statement appears to pull data from a table called "products." I'm not
saying that that's necessarily wrong, because it could very well be
perfectly valid. But without knowing more about your database layout,
that's all I can think of.
By the way, (and it shouldn't matter...) but have you also tried removing
the space in the "end if;" (part of your larger if:-else:-endif;
statement)? I personally don't use that alternative syntax, so I don't
know if the space matters.
