I am very new to PHP. Right now we are working with functions and control structures. I have an assignment where I have to calculate earnings based on wage, hours, and potential overtime over 40 hours at 1.5.
There are no examples in my text at this point that I can follow from for direction and at this point I am going blind.
Can someone please provide assistance or direction on what I should be doing? As of now, all I am getting are errors.

if ($x is <= 40){
