Re: Syntax errors with {s

I often have trouble with nested if/else statements as well and sometimes they can be a bugger to fix. But it looks like you're only missing two }'s.

You're not closing your first and your second IF, that's where the problems occur. So all I did was added a closed bracket after the first and second ELSE. Please see the script below.

if (param())
{

  my $name     = param("name");
  my $email    = param("email");
  my $phone    = param("phone");
  my $url      = param("url");
  my $requests = param("requests");


  if ($name ne "")
  {
     if ($email ne "")
     {
        if ($requests ne "")
        {
          print "very good!";
        } 
        else
        {
          print "please leave a message";
        } }
     else
     {
        print "please enter your email";
     } }
  else
  {
     print "please enter your name";
  }
}

sometimes they can be a bugger to fix. I can see such problems being hard to fix when (and only when) the brackets are not lined up like in the solution you gave...	[reply]

On guard! Each coder has their own way they prefer to see and write code. I much prefer doubling up the closures then break into a new line. Many might argue with this being harder to read, but I've been pretty constant with it since the very beginning.
