browser showing some syntax error while running this php code

Question

why cant i run this part of my code is showing some syntax error on the last line

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected token "}", expecting "," or ";"

<?php
    if (alert) {
        echo ' <div class="alert alert-primary" role="alert">
        A simple primary alert—check it out!
      </div> '
    }
    
   ?>

`unexpected token XYZ` means something _before_ that token has gone wrong. `expecting "," or ";"` means PHP ... expected a `,` or `;` — brombeer, Sep 18 '21 at 08:40

What you forgot in your code is the ; and the end of the echo.

Your code should look like the following

 if (alert) {
    echo ' <div class="alert alert-primary" role="alert">
    A simple primary alert—check it out!
  </div> '; // added the ; at the end
}

Remember that in php, each command should end with the ; character
