    Not sure about why the error happens. Probably an issue with service provider. Please report this bug to the service provider.

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘if’ (T_IF) in D:\xampp\htdocs\employee\a.php on line 17

    @Jasmeet, unexpected ‘if’ on line 17 means your issue is on line 16. Check whether you missed an “;” at the end of line 16.
