You haven't been listening.
You have been told what is wrong with this at least twice in the last
two days. You are failing to absorb this essential and fundamental piece
of php.

php is not basic. You need to use the correct php syntax and constructs
to do things in php. When you learn the basic php syntaxes and
constructs, people may become more helpful.

You say you are familiar with the php.net website, yet you obviously
managed to miss pages referring to control structures, specifically the
use of if, and logical and comparison operators, despite the fact that
they can be found in the clearly labelled control structures and
operators sections of the clearly labelled language reference section of
the clearly labelled manual.
Therefore, for your next lesson, go to the php.net website, find the
manual pages that deal with:
Manual
Language Reference
Operators
Operator Precedence
Manual
Language Reference
Operators
Comparison Operators
Manual
Language Reference
Operators
Logical Operators
Manual
Language Reference
Control Structures
If
Once you have read those pages, you will either know the answer to the
questions that you have asked here, or, if you do not then know the
answers, will instead know that you have no aptitude whatsoever for
programming in php and should find another hobby, probably one that does
not involve computers.
