BetterPHP

can somebody tell me what is up with this please..
[syntax=php]
if($_GET['action']=="changefilter")
{
echo "CHANGING FILTER";
}
else
{
echo "MUSIC";
}
else if($_GET['filter']=="hello")
{
echo "MUSIC FOR USER...";
}
[/syntax]

if i take out the :

[syntax=php] else if($_GET['filter']=="hello")
{
echo "MUSIC FOR USER...";
}[/syntax]

it works but with it.. it doesnt :\..

when using if() {} elseif () {} 's you should only have "else" on it's own for if all if() have failed. having a random else, then an elseif will not work.

As i said you can't have a random else in the middle of elseif()'s has to be at the end...
