PHP Integrating PHP with Databases Using Relational Tables Fetching Many Relationships

Cannot resolve syntax errors.

My code below for this exercise produces the error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in index.php on line 12

I remove the ';' on line 12 and get the error: syntax error, unexpected '?>' in index.php on line 15

I remove the '?>' on line 15 and get the error: syntax error, unexpected end of file in index.php on line 15

I cannot figure out what the workspace is expecting.

index.php
<?php

include "helper.php";

/*
 * helper contains the following variables:
 * $item is an array that contains details about the library item
 * $results is a PDOstatement object with our genre results.
 */

while($row = $results->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC) {
  $item[$row["genre_id"]][] = $row["genre"];
}

?>

<?php
while($row = $results->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC) { // how many opening braces, to how many closing.
  $item[$row["genre_id"]][] = $row["genre"];
}

Thanks
