Parse error

[gwh]

Hi everyone,

I have the following code where I'm trying to append extra parts to a 'where' clause depending on the conditions below:

	$where 	= " WHERE item_to_subcat.subcatID='$subcatID'";
	if (isset ($_GET['itemTypeID'])) {
		$itemTypeID =  mysqli_real_escape_string($link, $_GET['itemTypeID']);
        $where = $where . " AND itemTypes.itemTypeID='$itemTypeID'";
    }

	else (isset ($_GET['itemSubtypeID'])) {
	$itemSubtypeID =  mysqli_real_escape_string($link, $_GET['itemSubtypeID']);
    $where = $where . " AND itemSubTypes.itemSubtypeID='$itemSubtypeID'";
}

There's more to the select query but this is the section where the error is occurring. On testing I get the following parse error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/site/catalogue/corporate/index.php on line 50

Line 50 is:

else (isset ($_GET['itemSubtypeID'])) {

I'm pretty sure I've nested the code incorrectly but I can't work out where it's wrong.

Can anyone see where the error is?

Appreciate any help.

hi gwh,

If you are testing conditions in the else part then it should be else if not else.

correct syntax is,

if(some condition)
{
}
else if(another condition)
{
}
else //if none of the above qualified then it will fall into this block
{
}

please refer PHP manual for more help.

Thanks,
Best regards,
Niroshan
