Question About Curly brackets { }
I'm new to nested if statements and I'm loosing track of those curlies. Is this the right way of writing these statements?

PHP Code:
if ($var1 > $var2) {
    echo "statement_one";

    }else{
        if ($var2 > $var1) {  // is this one too many

            echo "statement_two";

            }  //close nested if

          }  //close else

Just lay out your code properly and you wont have problems

PHP Code:
if ($var1 > $var2)
 {
  echo "statement_one";
 }
else
 {
  if ($var2 > $var1)
   {
    echo "statement_two";
   }
 } 


Now we can see which bracket lines up with the other. And you have the right amount.

Talking Thank you
I want to say thanks to everyone that responded.
great examples.

Monkey's response left no room for doubt! Thanks.

After lining up the curly brackets under the "if" and "else"
I was able to debug my app in five minutes!.

yeah, it really pays in the long run to block your code and keep proper bracket alignment.

Just an interesting piece of trivia: If you wrote Sam777's code in Mumps, it'd be:

Code:
i me=monkie w "I am a monkie!"
e  d
. i me=monkie w "I am a monkie!"
. e  d
.. i me=monkie w "I am a monkie!"
.. e  d
... i me=monkie w "I am a monkie!"
... e  d
.... w "I think you get the idea!!!"

Mumps is a nice language sometimes. Just count the periods to see what loop you're in.
("e d"="Else Do")
