Parse Error

[system]

hi everyone,
im working on a php site for an assignment, im trying to insert records from a form into a database.
The page i have created contains an if statement that is supposed to check for the presence of posted data, and display the form if no data is posted, and insert data if there is data posted,however,im just getting unexpected } on line 114 error (the bit with {else if } ).
[php]

<?php //set up a couple of functions function doDB() { global $mysqli; //connect to server and select database; you may need it $mysqli = mysqli_connect("localhost", "root", "", "onlinestore"); } //determine if they need to see the form or not if (!$_POST) { //they need to see the form, so create form block $display_block = "

well first of all,

i am trying to understand what u r doing with $add_sql variable…effectively, it is going to store only one field that is in the last statement (od_payment_postal_code). Either you must be doing $add_sql .= for all the queries assigments or you must be writing all the fields into a single query.

coming to the problem u mentioned, can u check with connection string separately ? i mean whether mysqli_connect is working or not…

i think the problem lies with the way the $add_sql query is poised.
