i have removed the semi colon but still there has been no difference

That's of course impossible. You may have problems, but removing the semicolon removes the error you reported...

There should be a semi-colon at the end of the echo statement in the PHP in the second code section. Also, line 10 is not an else clause.

Solution 1

PHP

if (empty($_POST ["email"]));

This line represents an empty if - because of the ; at the end - so the actual structure of the code is different from what you may expect!

Make sure anything match, even after changes in question;
There is no 'else' on line 10.

Learn to indent properly your code, it show its structure and it helps reading and understanding. It also helps spotting structures mistakes.

PHP

<?php
$emailErr = " ";
$email = " ";
$errors = 0;

if ($_SERVER ["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST")
{
    if (empty($_POST ["email"]))
    {
        $emailErr = "Email is required";
        $errors = 1;
    }
    else
    {
        $email = test_input ($_POST ["email"]);
        if (!filter_var ($email , FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL))
        {
            $emailErr = "invalid format";
            $errors = 1;
        }
    }
}
?>

Professional programmer's editors have this feature and others ones such as parenthesis matching and syntax highlighting.
