Else condition error in model

Hi, Trying to learn Codeigniter. I have this form where I am trying to load dropdown value from db.

I if I use this code in model, it works fine:

Code:

    function getData($loadType,$loadId){
        if($loadType=="state"){
            $fieldList='id,v_state_name as name';
            $table='vbc_state';
            $fieldName='country_id';
            $orderByField='v_state_name';
        }else{
            $fieldList='id,v_state_region as name';
            $table='vbc_state_region';
            $fieldName='v_state_id';
            $orderByField='v_state_region';
        }
        $this->db->select($fieldList);
        $this->db->from($table);
        $this->db->where($fieldName, $loadId);
        $this->db->order_by($orderByField, 'asc');
        $query=$this->db->get();
        return $query;
    }

Since I need one more field to load, and I add this, I get error:

Code:

    function getData($loadType,$loadId){
        if($loadType=="state"){
            $fieldList='id,v_state_name as name';
            $table='vbc_state';
            $fieldName='country_id';
            $orderByField='v_state_name';
        }else{
            $fieldList='id,v_state_region as name';
            $table='vbc_state_region';
            $fieldName='v_state_id';
            $orderByField='v_state_region';
        }else{
            $fieldList='id,v_city as name';
            $table='vbc_city';
            $fieldName='v_state_region_id';
            $orderByField='v_city';
        }
        $this->db->select($fieldList);
        $this->db->from($table);
        $this->db->where($fieldName, $loadId);
        $this->db->order_by($orderByField, 'asc');
        $query=$this->db->get();
        return $query;
    }

Is there anything wrong with this code?

You can't chain more than one "else" together. It should be:

if
else if
else

not

if
else
else

change your condition to

PHP Code:

if ($variable == "value1"){
      //code
}else if ($variable == "value2"){
       //code
}else{
      //code
}
