simple php if statement generates parse error

Question

I've got this code

        if ( !empty( $ImStoreCart->cart->items ) {
        $count = $ImStoreCart->cart->items;
        echo "Items in Basket: ". $count;
    } else { echo "Your shopping basket is empty."; }

but I get this error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{'

I've checked the code but cannot see why its failing to see the if statement that needs the {

Any ideas?

Missing `)` at the end of your if statement – Rizier123 Mar 12 '15 at 13:22 — Rizier123, Mar 12 '15 at 13:22

It was ")" missed in first line

if ( !empty( $ImStoreCart->cart->items )) {
    $count = $ImStoreCart->cart->items;
    echo "Items in Basket: ". $count;
} else { echo "Your shopping basket is empty."; }
