K, I've got a fairly simple HTML form set up as a contest entry form. It stores it's output in a flat-file and this script processes the entry and displays it on the screen. I've been working on building some error-checking, so we can alert the person if they don't fill in certain fields. The first "if" statement works by itself, but when I implemented the "elseif" statements I keep getting a "Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ELSEIF in /pathtoscript/filename.php on line 28" in the browser. Can anyone see what's wrong with this picture?
