[SOLVED] Syntax Error

[Bopo]

Hi

 

I should really be able to see where it's going wrong, but I'm having one of those moments where I just can't figure it out 

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSE

 

<?php

$sql = "SELECT * FROM months where month = '$storemonth' AND year = '$storeyear'";

$query = mysql_query($sql, $connect);
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)){
   $month = $row['month'];
   $year = $row['year']; 
} else {  //this is the line that is being highlighted.

$sql = "INSERT INTO months (month, year) VALUES ('$storemonth', '$storeyear')";

if(!mysql_query($sql, $connect)) {
	die('Error' . mysql_error());		
}
mysql_close($connect);
}

?>

You have have an else statement directly after your while loop. You can only use else statements after an if statement.
