how to fix this notice error

I have an unexpected ; error on this line:

$action = ($sessionMinus == $_SESSION['initial_count']) ? 'create_session2.php';

But if I remove the ; then it states unexpected { in the line below, how can this be sorted out?

below full code:

if ($sessionMinus == $_SESSION['initial_count']){

    $action = ($sessionMinus == $_SESSION['initial_count']) ? 'create_session2.php';

}else if($sessionMinus != $_SESSION['initial_count']){

    $action = ($sessionMinus != $_SESSION['initial_count']) ? $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

}

To use the ternary operator, you need to have values for when the condition is both TRUE and FALSE:

$action = ($sessionMinus != $_SESSION['initial_count']) ? $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] : "false";

I am not sure why you are doing the checks twice, the following should suffice:

<?php 
if ($sessionMinus == $_SESSION['initial_count']){ 

    $action = 'create_session2.php'; 

}else($sessionMinus != $_SESSION['initial_count']){ 

    $action = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; 

}

All of you code can be rewritten as:

$action = ($sessionMinus == $_SESSION['initial_count']) ? 'create_session2.php' : $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

Have fun.

You might forgot else command

$action = ($sessionMinus == $_SESSION['initial_count']) ? 'create_session2.php':'';

A ternary operation requires that you add an alternative if the condition is not true (instead it is false):

$action = ($sessionMinus == $_SESSION['initial_count']) ? 'create_session2.php' : 'was_false';

Psuedo looks like:

$variable = ($condition == true) ? true : false;

You can read more about comparison operators (and ternary) here.

You have a short if statement: [condition] ? [if_true] : [if_false]

but the : [if_false] part is missing
