If-else..plz help

Man, I swear I am going to figure out how these work one day, but for now, can anyone help me out. I need the following to work:

<?php if ( $user_ID ) 
			<ul>
				<li>
					<strong>You are logged in</strong>
				</li>
			</ul>
		else()
		<ul>
			<li>
				 <form action="<?php bloginfo('url') ?>/wp-login.php" method="post">
				<div>
				<label for="log">Username: <input type="text" name="log" id="log" value="<?php echo wp_specialchars(stripslashes($user_login), 1) ?>" size="22" /></label><br />
				<label for="pwd">Password: <input type="password" name="pwd" id="pwd" size="22" /></label><br />
				<input type="image" id="loginsubmit" src="images/login.jpg" alt="login" />
				<input type="hidden" name="redirect_to" value="<?php echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; ?>"/>
				</div>
			</form>
			</li>	
			
</ul> ?>

PHP:

 

I think you accidentally removed the "{ ?>" at top and "<?php }" at bottom.

 

Format:

if (condition) {
  code
} else {
  code
}

Code (markup):

<?php if (condition) { ?>
  HTML
<?php } else { ?>
  HTML
} ?>

Code (markup):

 

Yes. The { ?>" at top and "<?php } is very important. Dont worry, when I was new, I made that mistake too.

Also, you could just safe from closing the php tags by using echo 'all your long text here i/'m doing fine';

Just remember to escape which is annoying.
