If and else expect to be followed by exactly 1 statement. To aggregate
multiple statements as one, surround them with {curly braces}. I'm
guessing you didn't do that, and you're seeing the execution of all but
the first of the statements following the else.
So it should be:
if ($var<1)
echo "can't be found";
else
{
echo "first line of form";
echo "second line of form";
}
