elseif syntax

[bwielk]

Hello guys! I have literally started learning how to code. And I have come to the point when I got to deal with elseif syntax which is not working properly and messes up everything I have done so far. Here's the script

 

 

$password = "tulip";

 

 

if ($password == "tulip")

{

echo '<b>Hello!</b><br> Welcome to the website Blaise!';

} else {

echo '<b> The password or login is incorrect <br> Please try again </b>';

} elseif ( $password == "daisy") 

{

echo '<b> Welcome Kate! </b>;

}

 

 

When I type in "daisy" nothing goes on and everything just gets stuck. 

 

Any help or explanation? Thanks

You can't have an "elseif" after an "else". The "else" marks the end of the statement (as in: If none of the above is true, execute the following code).

 

It's

if (...)
{
    ...
}
elseif (...)
{
    ...
}
elseif (...)
{
    ...
}

...

else
{
    ...
}

If your code "just gets stuck", that means you need to fix your error reporting as well. PHP always tells you exactly what's wrong.

Read a book. Check out codeacademy online. There's a lot to learn to become a coder, let alone a good one. Make it easier on yourself with some basic walk-before-you-run efforts.

For the beginning, I'd rather watch some videos about how to code and after that, when I have understood more about basics and what's syntax and what's variable, to proceed to some books as I am more of a visual rather than a reader. Thanks a lot for Your advice, though. If You have more suggestions or recommendations, I am open towards everything

Try starting to learn at php.net , is a lot of bad or outdated code around on the internet.
