Can someone help with error

[divinedesigns1]

can someone help me understand this error, i made sure all the braces are matched up but im still getting that error this is the error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSE in C:\wamp\www\news\index.php on line 97

and this is the code

<?phpinclude_once(news/MyConnect.php);$query = "SELECT title DATE_FORMAT(date, '%M %d') as sd FROM news ORDER BY date DESC";$result = mysqli_query($con, $query);if(isset($_GET['id'])){    $id = $_GET['id'];}else{    if($result){	    while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result, MYSQLI_ASSOC)){		    echo '<div class="in_news"><div class="tie">' . $row['title'] . '<a href="news.php?$id=id">..more</div>' . '</div>' . '<div class="sd">' . $row['sd'] . '</div></div>' . '<br />';	    }else{		    echo 'no post';	    }    }}?>

btw the <a href="news.php?$id=id">..more</div> is a test, im trying to use to get something by the id in the mysql anyway, i each google and it said the braces are unmatched so i rewrote the script and make sure i ended each brace when i open it but still im getting this error.

error fixed

Where was it?

[Ingolme]

It's clearly the unclosed while() loop that caused the problem.

[niche]

Please show me. I still don't see it and that bothers me.

[Ingolme]

It's this structure: while() {...} else {...}

[niche]

That's the structure I was looking for and found in the question. What do you see, that I don't?

[Ingolme]

The else keyword only can be used on an if() statement, not on a while() statement.

That's the structure I was looking for and found in the question. What do you see, that I don't?

http://www.w3schools...php_if_else.asphttp://www.w3schools...php_looping.asp while is a looping structure, like

for($i = 0, $l = count($someArray); $i < $l; $i += 1){  echo $i;};

if/else is a conditional structure. They are not interchangeable.

Dooh! What doesn't kill me makes me stronger. Thanks for accomodating me Ingolme and you to thescientist.. I'm confident I wouldn't have made that mistake, but it's interesting that I didn't catch it, at all, in someone else. Hmm.
