What's wrong?

[Meg_Griffin]

Hi guys,please help me with my code. Everything is fine,except for this line: elseif (3.2<$media<7) echo "Em recuperação"; It generates a syntax error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in C:\xampp\htdocs\questao_01.php on line 49 So,the question is: if the specified condition in my exercise is 3.2<media<7 why is this wrong? .

} elseif  (3.2<$media<7) {echo "Em recuperação";}

Based on your question as written.

The problem is that you're trying to make two comparisons in one statement. You need to separate them:

elseif (3.2 < $media && $media < 7)

Curly braces are not a requirement and it is syntactically correct to omit them. The only problem being that only the next line of code will be considered part of the block.

not considered part of the block.

As in not part of the if-elseif structure? Edited October 17, 2012 by niche

You misquoted my post. When curly braces are omitted only one line of code is considered the part of the block of code that is associated with the keyword. The keyword can be if, else, elseif, else if, for, while, foreach.

Thanks for the clarification fox.

Ingolme,thank you.But there's one more doubt...why does this code show me a different output? It outputs "reprovado" instead of "sem notas cadastradas". elseif ($media=="indefinido") echo "Sem notas cadastradas";

[birbal]

please post your relevant code

[Ingolme]

You'll need to post the whole if() structure and make sure that the values you are giving are what you expected them to do.
