<head> 
<title>Compare Strings</title>
<h1>Compare Strings</h1><hr />
<?php
$firstString = "Geek2Geek";
$secondString = "Gezzer2Geek"
 if (!empty($firstString) && !empty($secondString) {
 if ($firstString == $secondString)
 echo "<p>Both strings are the same.</p>";
 else (
 echo "<p>Both strings have "
 . similar_text($firstString,
 $secondString)
 . " character(s) in common.<br />";
 echo "<p>You must change " .
 levenshtein($firstString,
 $secondString) . " character(s) to
 make the strings the same.<br />";
 }
}
else
 echo "<p>Either the \$firstString variable or
 the \$secondString variable does not
 contain a value so the two strings cannot
 be compared.
 </p>";

it looks like you're missing a parenthesis for the if statement 

if (!empty() && !empty()) {
                        ^ this one

also, you can use the code tool in the editor to add code in a more readable way here on the forum

 if ($firstString == $secondString){
 echo "<p>Both strings are the same.</p>";
}
  else {

 

but you'll have another error, so I fixed it too.

 

Full working script: 

<DOCTYPE!>
<html> 
<head> 
<title>Compare Strings</title>
<h1>Compare Strings</h1><hr />
<?php
$firstString = "Geek2Geek";
$secondString = "Gezzer2Geek";
if (!empty($firstString) && !empty($secondString)) {
 if ($firstString == $secondString){
 echo "<p>Both strings are the same.</p>";
}
  else {
 echo "<p>Both strings have "
 . similar_text($firstString,
 $secondString)
 . " character(s) in common.<br />";
 echo "<p>You must change " .
 levenshtein($firstString,
 $secondString) . " character(s) to
 make the strings the same.<br />";
 }
}
else
{
 echo "<p>Either the \$firstString variable or
 the \$secondString variable does not
 contain a value so the two strings cannot
 be compared.
 </p>";
}
?>
