You can't have an elseif after a else, the logic doesn't make sense !

 

try

<?php 

require_once('access/mysqli_connect.php');

   //Function val validates form submissions by;
   //Striping html tags from from;
   //Must be greater than three letters long;

function val($field = false)
{
global $dbc;
$errors = false;

if(strlen($field) > 3)
{
	strip_tags($field);
	$username = $field;
	$username = mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc,$username);
	return $username;
}elseif(strlen($field) > 15){
	$errors = "Field must be no more than fifteen letters long!";
} else {
	$errors = "Field must be greater than three letters long!";
}

if($errors)
{
	return $errors;
}
}

//END of val function;
?>
