[HELP!] PHP error when trying to use if else to compare passwords

cuLtivated

Hello everyone,
I am new to the community and plan on becoming a regular member. I am having an error "Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_CATCH' in C:\wamp\www\form\RESTCLIENT.php on line 100" which is related to this if else statement I am working on. Right now I am just looking for it to compare the password entered on the login form, to the one I am scraping from our secure billing system. If anyone wouldn't mind helping me out I would greatly appreciate it. Chao!:eek:

		if ($pwerd === $parsed)
		{
		print("Passwords Match");
		if(strstr($findactive, 'ACTIVE'))
		{
		print("<br>DATA RETURNED FROM API CALL :");	
		print("<br>" . $userid . " : " . $parsed . " : active : " . $plannum . " <br><br>"); 
		}
		else
		{
		print("<br> " . $userid . " IS INACTIVE<br><br>"); 
		}
    	}
		}
		else
		{
		print("Please press back and check your password!");
		}

Looks like an extra "}" before the last else. A little formatting and careful indenting might make it more obvious:

      if ($pwerd === $parsed)
      {
         print ("Passwords Match");
         if (strstr($findactive, 'ACTIVE'))
         {
            print ("<br>DATA RETURNED FROM API CALL :");
            print ("<br>" . $userid . " : " . $parsed . " : active : " . $plannum . " <br><br>");
         }
         else
         {
            print ("<br> " . $userid . " IS INACTIVE<br><br>");
         }
      }
      /* this appears to not belong:
      }
      */
      else
      {
         print ("Please press back and check your password!");
      }

Thanks for your help. I forgot to mention that the code is inside of a Try which is why the extra } was there. I actually moved it down to the end of the else and it works. I am very lazy with indenting as I started coding in VB originally and there is not much use for indenting. I need someone to teach me how to indent correctly :quiet:

The end of a TRY block must be followed by a CATCH, so depending on the desired logic, you'll need to do what you described or whatever else makes logical sense, as long as the end of the TRY block is followed immediately by the CATCH block (ignoring comments and/or white space).
