How do you get the last row of a repeater?

I’m getting this error “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘$end_row’ (T_VARIABLE) in…”. I’m not sure why, I’ve seen multiple examples of this is how you get the last row, but it just doesn’t work.

function smile_gallery( $atts ) {
    if( have_rows('smile_gallery', 3045) ):

    $i = 0;

    $html_out = '';

    $html_out .= '<div class="smile-container">';

        $rows = get_field('smile_gallery', 3045);
        $end_row = end($rows);
        $recent = $end_row['smile_week'];
        
        $html_out .= '<div class="col-md-6">';
            $html_out .= '<div class="smile-recent">';
                $html_out .= $recent;
            $html_out .= '</div>';
        $html_out .= '</div>';

    $html_out .= '</div>';

    endif;

    return $html_out;
}
add_shortcode( 'show_smiles', 'smile_gallery' );

I fixed the issue, but I want to do something additional in this function. I want to be able to also loop through all the rows and output all except the last one. I have two columns. The left will output the last row and the right will output all but the last.

function smile_gallery( $atts ) {
    if( have_rows('smile_gallery', 3045) ):

    $i = 0;

    $html_out = '';

    $html_out .= '<div class="smile-container">';

        $rows = get_field('smile_gallery', 3045);
        $end_row = end($rows);
        $recent = $end_row['smile_week'];
        
        $html_out .= '<div class="col-md-6">';
            $html_out .= '<div class="smile-recent">';
                $html_out .= $recent;
            $html_out .= '</div>';
        $html_out .= '</div>';

        $html_out .= '<div class="col-md-6">';
            $html_out .= '<div class="smile-thumbs">';

            while( have_rows('smile_gallery', 3045) ): the_row();

            $week = get_sub_field('smile_week', 3045);
            $img = get_sub_field('smile_img', 3045);

            $i++;

            // Do stuff with each post here
            $html_out .= '<div class="smile-img">';
                $html_out .= $week;    
            $html_out .= '</div>';

            endwhile;

            $html_out .= '</div>';
        $html_out .= '</div>';

    $html_out .= '</div>'; // smile container

    endif;

    return $html_out;
}
add_shortcode( 'show_smiles', 'smile_gallery' );

This is the full function. To take it an even step further, it would be cool to order the rows by $week. $week outputs a number.

Would this be easier to achieve using the gallery field?
