This is what the code looks like with proper tabs indicating hierarchy:

 

function footer($argument, $arg = "Brom is god!") 
{
   echo "$argument<br><br>";

   if($arg == "Brom is god!") 
   {
       return "hey, I know " .$arg;
   }
   else 
   {
       return "Do I know you " .$arg ."?";
   }
?>

<?php
echo footer("stefan");
?>

When you format the code a bit, you'll notice that you are missing a closing "}" on your footer() function. That's what the "unexpected $end" error usually indicates -- an unclosed curly bracket somewhere.

 

What program are you using to code this in? If you are using Notepad, I would suggest finding a basic code editor with syntax highlighting, which will help you spot coding errors. There are quite a few free ones available -- Notepad++ is my personal favorite when I work on Windows.
