Lose the semicolon here
if(isset($_GET['user']));

Also I don't see where you defined $user anywhere.

Syntax for if/else conditional statements is roughly like this example

Code: [ Select ]
$number_three = 3;
 
if ( $number_three == 3 ) {
    echo "The if statement evaluated to true";
} else {
    echo "The if statement evaluated to false";
}
 
  1. $number_three = 3;
  2.  
  3. if ( $number_three == 3 ) {
  4.     echo "The if statement evaluated to true";
  5. } else {
  6.     echo "The if statement evaluated to false";
  7. }
  8.  


*note it's a lot easier to spot your problems if you have it on separate lines like that example versus all on one line like yours.
