    Im making a simple "age verification" page, using $_GET & IF

    but I am getting a syntax error; "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF in /home/.../public_html/verifyage.php on line 12"

    I am a virgin to PHP and don't know what that error means

    here is the code:

    <html>
<head><title>$GET Test</title></head>
<body>
<form action="verifyage.php" method="get">
Name:<input type="text" name="name" />
Age:<input type="text" name="age" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
<br>
<?php
$age = $_GET["age"]
if ($age < 18)
{
echo "You are not old enough to enter this site.";
}
?>
</body>
</html>
    PHP:

    You need to add ; at the end of each statement ( in this case, variable definition and if block are two separate statements ) :
    <html>
<head><title>$GET Test</title></head>
<body>
<form action="verifyage.php" method="get">
Name:<input type="text" name="name" />
Age:<input type="text" name="age" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
<br>
<?php
$age = $_GET["age"];
if ($age < 18)
{
echo "You are not old enough to enter this site.";
}
?>
</body>
</html>

    don't worry once you get use to error messages you will instantly find the error.
