2022/10/08 09:40:51 [error] 777#777: *7097481 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'else' (T_ELSE), expecting end of file in /usr/local/share/zoneminder/www/ajax/log.php on line 31" while reading response header from upstream, client: 192.168.1.12, server: , request: "GET /zm/index.php?view=request&request=log&task=query&search=&offset=0&limit=10 HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/var/run/php7-fpm.sock:", host: "xxxxxxx.yyyyyyy.com", referrer: "http://xxxxxxx.yyyyyyy.com/zm/index.php?view=log"

Code which cause problem in ajax/log.php:

} else {
  // Only the query and create tasks are supported at the moment
  $message = 'Unrecognised task '.$_REQUEST['task'];
} else {
  $task = $_REQUEST['task'];
}
