syntax error unexpected ';'

I'm getting a syntax error and i don't understand why. My code looks the same as in the video. 

public function addIngredients($item, $amount = null, $measure = null) {
  if ($measure != null && !in_array(strtolower($measure, $this->measurements)) {
  exit("enter a valid measurement: " . implode(", ", $this->measurements)); //error is here
 }

$this->ingredients[] = array(
"item" => ucwords($item),
  "amount" => $amount,
  "measure" => $measure
);

}

The line

if ($measure != null && !in_array(strtolower($measure, $this->measurements)) {

should be

if ($measure != null && !in_array(strtolower($measure), $this->measurements) {

That will probably help.
