PHP - elseif parse error

[oskarha]

I am currently working on a form that appends events to a text file used by a calendar on my website.
What I am struggling with is the PHP script which interprets the date variables from the form into a date for the events.txt file.

 

The script I have written gives this error when run:

Quote

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in /srv/disk13/2195185/www/thisismyshow.tk/calendar/append.php on line 19

The relevant code I am working with:

Spoiler

PHP script:

$startdate=$_REQUEST['startdate'];
$startmonth=$_REQUEST['startmonth'];
$startyear=$_REQUEST['startyear'];
$starttime1=$_REQUEST['starttime1'];
$starttime2=$_REQUEST['starttime2'];

if (empty($starttime1) AND empty($starttime2)) {
      $start="".$startyear."-".$startmonth."-".$startdate."";
   }  elseif (empty($starttime2) {
      $start="".$startyear."-".$startmonth."-".$startdate."T".$starttime1.""
   }  elseif (!empty($starttime2) {
      $start="".$startyear."-".$startmonth."-".$startdate."T".$starttime1."-".$starttime2.""
   }

HTML Form (extract):

<tr>
<td>Start</td>
<td>:</td>
<td>
<input name="startdate" type="text" id="startdate" size="1" required>
<font size="2" color="red">*</font>
<select name="startmonth" id="startmonth" required>
  <option value="01">January</option>
  <option value="02">February</option>
  <option value="03">March</option>
  <option value="04">April</option>
  <option value="05">May</option>
  <option value="06">June</option>
  <option value="07">July</option>
  <option value="08">August</option>
  <option value="09">September</option>
  <option value="10" selected>October</option>
  <option value="11">November</option>
  <option value="12">December</option>
</select>
<font size="2" color="red">*</font>
<select name="startyear" id="startyear" required>
  <option value="2017">2017</option>
  <option value="2018">2018</option>
  <option value="2019">2019</option>
  <option value="2020">2020</option>
</select>
<font size="2" color="red">*</font>
Time:
<input name="starttime1" type="text" id="starttime1" size="2">
-
<input name="starttime2" type="text" id="starttime2" size="2">
</td>
</tr>

Line 19 looks good to me, but i must be wrong.

Line 19 (look above for the surrounding lines):

   }  elseif (empty($starttime2) {

EDIT while typing: I forgot to close all of my brackets (im good at maths i should have seen this earlier )

What do you recommend me to use instead of a TXT? I tried JSON but it doesn't seem to play nicely with the norwegain æøå characters.

Here are some errors I spotted quickly:

<?php
/* False else if, you forgot to close with a ) */
elseif ( empty($var) ) {}

/* You wrote */
elseif ( empty($var) /* ) is missing! */ {}

learn mysql + database management then use mariadb on linux to store

Thanks I realized, I fixed that now.

Now its complaining about an unexpected } on line 21:

   }  elseif (!empty($starttime2)) {

Ok, I think I was able to fix the problem, the form seems to work perfectly
