you're missing semicolon ";" @ end of line 15.

btw you're code formatting terrible. you're missing opening brace "{" after line 13 (the if statement). not sure if meant or not, don't think so. it's practice use braces.

a thing learn psrs. in particular psr-1 , psr-2, basic coding standard , coding style guide, tells standards recommended php framework interoperability group (fig).
