I assume you mean
if () :
else if ():
else :
here (colon instead of semicolon)? AFAIK PHP doesn't allow the
alternative syntax -
http://php.he.net/manual/en/control-structures.alternative-syntax.php
- with semicolons. Or do you really mean
if () {}
else if () {}
else {}
If you are using the alternative syntax, I recall several messages
about people having problems nesting both forms of syntax. Try using
all one style or the other.
Lastly, quadruple check that you haven't accidentally quoted or
double-quoted a { or ( or something that you THOUGHT was part of PHP
code; syntax highlighting editors can definitely help here.
