how to Check if condition in Html using PHP

Question

I am using an HtML and PHP. I have to check the Table with the If condition using PHP for Example

<?php if($status==0) {?>
<td><input type='text' name='test' id='test' value=''>
<?php }?>
<?php else (if($status==2) && ($status==1)) {?>
<td><input type='text' name='test' id='test' value=''>
<?php }?>

Am getting eror as unexpected else and unexpected boolean.........

Is it wrong?

It might be helpful to show some code and what you expect to get as a result... Your question is a bit ambiguous. — user131441

Sounds like you have a PHP syntax problem. You're going to have to post more information and a more specific question if you want help though. — takteek

@John, @Canuteson : there was a code portion, but it was not formated as such -- and, so, didn't appear ;; I've edited the question to format it properly, and the code now appears. — Pascal MARTIN

Looking at your code, it seems you have two syntax errors.

First, the following lines :

<?php } ?>
<?php else (if($status==2) && ($status==1)) { ?>

Should go in only one PHP tag : there should be no closing + beginning tags between the } and the else.

Second, the opening parenthesis should not be between the else and the if -- but arround the condition :

<?php } else if(($status==2) && ($status==1)) { ?>

While the others have covered your syntax error, I'll cover your logic error:

<?php } else if(($status==2) && ($status==1)) { ?>

This checks to see if $status is equal to 2, and then also checks that $status is equal to 1.

$status can't be both 1 and 2 at the same time.

If $status is 1, then the if check evaluates to:

<?php } else if((false) && (true)) { ?>

... which is false, meaning the condition won't match.

You probably want ||, the "logical or" operator instead of &&, the "logical and" operator:

<?php } else if(($status==2) || ($status==1)) { ?>

Here's the PHP manual page on logical operators.

you have syntax error while saying else if.... I would rewrite the code as following:

<?php if($status==0) :?>
<td><input type='text' name='test' id='test' value=''>
<?php else if (($status==2) && ($status==1)) :?>
<td><input type='text' name='test' id='test' value=''>
<?php endif; ?>

Here is syntax error

<?php else (if($status==2) && ($status==1)) {?>

Change it to

<?php elseif(($status==2) && ($status==1)) {?>

EDIT

Space is not allowed between elseif. Also you have logical error as others pointed change your && to ||

Note: Note that elseif and else if will only be considered exactly the same when using curly brackets When using a colon to define your if/elseif conditions, you must not separate else if into two words, or PHP will fail with a parse error.

<?php if ($vCertificateStatus==0):?> 
<td><input type="text" name="CertificateDate" id="CertificateDate" value="" /> 
<?php elseif(($vCertificateStatus==-1) || ($vCertificateStatus==1)):?> 
<td><input type="text" name="CertificateDate" id="CertificateDate" value="<?php echo $vReceivedDate;?>" />
<?php endif; ?>

Insteed of {...} you need to use : and endif;

<?php if($status==0) :?>
<td><input type='text' name='test' id='test' value=''>

<?php elseif(($status==2) && ($status==1)) :?>
<td><input type='text' name='test' id='test' value=''>
<?php endif; ?>

?>
