In the immortal words of Homer Simpson....d'oh! Thank you very much.

Hello all. I am terrible at PHP, but it's pretty handy and I like it far better than other languages. I'm trying to write a program to perform some pretty simple math, but it's giving me a syntax error. I am not familiar enough with PHP syntax to know why. Here is the code: <?php $variable = 14; $TaxesPaid; $OneBracket1 = 1; $OneBracket12 = 12; $OneBracket22 = 22; $OneBracket32 = 32; $OneBracket42 = 42; $OneBracket52 = 52; if($variable <= $OneBracket1): $TaxesPaid = $variable * 0.10; elseif($variable <= $OneBracket12 && >= $OneBracket1): $TaxesPaid = $variable * 0.15; elseif($variable <= $OneBracket22 && >= $OneBracket12): $TaxesPaid = $variable * 0.25; elseif($variable <= $OneBracket32 && >= $OneBracket22): $TaxesPaid = $variable * 0.28; elseif($variable <= $OneBracket42 && >= $OneBracket32): $TaxesPaid = $variable * 0.33; elseif($variable >= $OneBracket52): $TaxesPaid = $variable * 0.35; else: echo "death" echo $TaxesPaid; ?> Here is the error I'm receiving: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IS_GREATER_OR_EQUAL in (local directory) on line 16 I tried writing the same snippet of code with { }'s instead of : to separate the if clauses but I'm getting the same error. It appears to be an error with the comparison operators ( >=, &&, <=). I tried switching some of these around, like =>, and received a different error. I think the latter (=>) is more for arrays than if statements. Any guidance would be extremely appreciated! I've been wrestling with this for awhile now...
