[PHP] What am I missing?

[(^^)]

I seem to get the following error for the following snippit of code;

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSE in C:\wamp\www\thebook_php\handle_form.php on line 20

if (isset($_REQUEST['gender'])); {
    $gender = $_REQUEST['gender'];
} else {
    $gender = NULL;
}

Can anyone see what I am doing wrong because I sure as hell don't. I also get this error for the following snippit of code for the elseif condition;

if ($gender == 'M'); {
    echo '<p><b>Good day, Sir!</b></p>';
} elseif ($gender == 'F') {
    echo '<p><b>Good day, Madam!</b></p>';
} else {
    '<p><b>You forgot to enter your gender!</b></p>';
}

change this:

if (isset($_REQUEST['gender'])); {

to this:

if (isset($_REQUEST['gender'])) {

That should fix your parse error.

change this:

if (isset($_REQUEST['gender'])); {

to this:

if (isset($_REQUEST['gender'])) {

That should fix your parse error.

Thank you for making me feel so stupid right now.<3

Hehe, no problem.

also change this

if ($gender == 'M'); {
    echo '<p><b>Good day, Sir!</b></p>';
} elseif ($gender == 'F') {
    echo '<p><b>Good day, Madam!</b></p>';
} else {
    '<p><b>You forgot to enter your gender!</b></p>';
}

to this

if ($gender == 'M') {
    echo '<p><b>Good day, Sir!</b></p>';
} elseif ($gender == 'F') {
    echo '<p><b>Good day, Madam!</b></p>';
} else {
    '<p><b>You forgot to enter your gender!</b></p>';
}

if statements don't get semicolons after them. I'm not sure if you realized this after Flowan's post.

Also, it looks like you missed a "echo"

if ($gender == 'M') {
    echo '<p><b>Good day, Sir!</b></p>';
} elseif ($gender == 'F') {
    echo '<p><b>Good day, Madam!</b></p>';
} else {
    '<p><b>You forgot to enter your gender!</b></p>';
}

^replace with:

if ($gender == 'M') {
    echo '<p><b>Good day, Sir!</b></p>';
} elseif ($gender == 'F') {
    echo '<p><b>Good day, Madam!</b></p>';
} else {
    echo '<p><b>You forgot to enter your gender!</b></p>';
}
