statments question

[XxDxX]

In php5 is there still the else statment? Cause I am reading the book php5 and mysql for dummies, and it doesn't have anything in there about the else statment.

Have you tried using it yet?

}
<form action="password.php" method="POST">

?>

try wrapping your raw strings in quotes, and use echo, like so (you've also got your ?> in the wrong place):

}
else
{
echo "sorry please go back";
}
?>
<form action="password.php" method="POST">
<input type="text" name="username" value="enter">
