A), use [code] tags
B) Don't nest comments (If you would've used code tags you would have seen the error, or you could just use an editor that actually highlights your code)

/* case 'latestnews':

/**

* Show latest news for My Blog

**/

if(cmsVersion() != _CMS_JOOMLA15)

$title = "Latest updates";

showLatestNews();

break;*/

The error PHP gives you essentially tells you EXACTLY what to do already. Remove the errant end comment which I pointed out in my snippet
