Answer 1

You are missing < at the a tag inside the first while loop (exactly on line 21 when I copy/paste your code). That might be the reason it doesn't recognize the else statement, because it can't get to it properly.

Answer 2

try this code. may be it resolve your problem.
I have corrected some syntax mistake in your code.
