    Thanks guys but before moving forward I'd like to know why I am getting a parse error on the 60+ else conditional line:

    Hello! 

    I'm attempting to rewrite handle_form.php to validate the age element

     

     

     

     

       //validate age:
    if (isset($_REQUEST['age'])) {
        
        $age = $_REQUEST['age'];
    if ($age == '0-29') {
        echo '<p><b>You are 0-29!</b></p>';
    }elseif ($age == '30-60') {
        echo '<p><b>You are 30-60!</b></p>';
    }else($age == '60+'){
        echo  '<p><b>You are 60+!</b></p>';
    }
 

    That's what I have so far.  Thanks very much, it's a great book so far!
