Sorry to double-post but this brought up something I didn't realize wasn't clear in my
original post. When I say:
if () ;
I am using the one-line if/elseif/else syntax, which works like this:
if($foo) echo $bar;
elseif($x) echo $y;
else echo $z;
This is a self-contained if statement, as in C, which needs no colon or braces. This
is the first mentioned syntax for if() in the PHP documentation. However, just to be
100% sure, I used braces anyway and still suffered the same problem.
I'm coding in Dreamweaver MX and all of the {}s appear the appropriate color, and seem
to be in the appropriate places when I use the balance braces command. (ctrl+' for the
uninitiated)
Thanks,
Colin Teubner

I assume you mean
if () :
else if ():
else :
here (colon instead of semicolon)? AFAIK PHP doesn't allow the
alternative syntax -
http://php.he.net/manual/en/control-structures.alternative-syntax.php
- with semicolons. Or do you really mean
if () {}
else if () {}
else {}
If you are using the alternative syntax, I recall several messages
about people having problems nesting both forms of syntax. Try using
all one style or the other.
Lastly, quadruple check that you haven't accidentally quoted or
double-quoted a { or ( or something that you THOUGHT was part of PHP
code; syntax highlighting editors can definitely help here.
