hi Legato213

you´r adding semicolon ';' after your IF statements.

Try using this instead...

<?php

   $loanamount = 0.0;
   $deposit = 0.0;
   $totalcost = 0.0;
   
   printf("\nEnter Desired Loan Amount: ");
   fscanf(STDIN, "%f", $loanamount);

   if($loanamount > 0 && $loanamount < 25000 )
       {
   $deposit = $loanamount * .05;                  
       }
       else
       {
           if($loanamount >= 25000 && $loanamount < 50000 )
           {
         $deposit = ($loanamount - 25000) * .10;    
        }
       else
           {
               if($loanamount    >= 50000 && $loanamount <= 100000)
               {        
           $deposit = ($loanamount - 50000) * .25;        
            }
            else            
            {
                if ($loanamount <= 0 || $loanamount > 100000)
                {
                printf("\n The amount requested is beyond the acceptable value. Please enter an amount between $0 and $100000");
                }
            }
        }  
    }    
              
      printf("\nYour deposit will be %.2f",$deposit);
      $totalcost = $loanamount + $deposit;
      printf("\nYour total loan cost will be %.2f",$totalcost);
?>

Edit: Nevermind, the one above me beat me to the punch. LOL

Additionally, your code formatting is very weird. It becomes a lot more readable if you format it nicely and remove all the excess braces that are cluttering it up:

<?php
    $loanamount = 0.0;
    $deposit = 0.0;
    $totalcost = 0.0;

    printf("\nEnter Desired Loan Amount: ");
    fscanf(STDIN, "%f", $loanamount);

    if ($loanamount > 0 && $loanamount < 25000)
        $deposit = $loanamount * .05;                  
    else if ($loanamount >= 25000 && $loanamount < 50000)
        $deposit = ($loanamount - 25000) * .10;
    else if($loanamount >= 50000 && $loanamount <= 100000)
        $deposit = ($loanamount - 50000) * .25;
    else if ($loanamount <= 0 || $loanamount > 100000)
        printf("\n The amount requested is beyond the acceptable value. Please enter an amount between $0 and $100000");

    printf("\nYour deposit will be %.2f\n", $deposit);
    $totalcost = $loanamount + $deposit;
    printf("Your total loan cost will be %.2f\n", $totalcost);
?>
