semi-colom

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_IF in
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\form_post.php on line 3

This is the error which I get with my code, I've searched the internet and
the solution should be adding a "semi column". My native language though
isn't English and I have no idea which they mean by this, probable a term
used by php programmers.
The code :

<? php

if(!empty($_POST)){

echo ("<h2> Bent u zeker dat de volgende informatie correct is:</h2>");

reset($_POST);

while (list($element, $waarde) = each($_POST))
{
if($element != "submit"){

echo("Veld: <b>$element</b>, ingevulde waarde: <b>$waarde</b>
<br>\n");
}
}
}
?>

any help would greatly be appreciated
Friendly regards

I believe you mean "semicolon", not "semi column". "Semi column" isn't
generally a used term in English, although I'm sure there are some specific
uses for this term. PHP, to my knowledge isn't one of them. A semicolon is a
character represented by this: ";", but without the quotes. That's a lot of
symbols, so here's the semicolon by itself.

;

That's a semicolon. You'll want to put that at the end of a line in PHP
code, which I see you've already done in most cases.

semi-column is probably semi-colon which is the ; symbol

Your problem, however, is the space between <? and php in the first line. It
should be <?php without spaces. Because the space is there PHP is confused
and thinks you have a statement before the if in line 3 which is not
terminated with a semi-colon (;). Remove the space in line 1 and your error
should go away.

Works completely like it should now :-) thx!
Indeed a very stupid mistake which I won't make twice.
Thank you!

What Ken said is correct, but is missing the real problem. "Parse
error" implies basic syntactic malformedness - a fancy way of saying the
interpreter can't understand what the heck you are trying to say.
"Unexpected T_IF" implies to me it was not expecting an IF-statement where
it found one (on line 3). There isn't much before that - just the malformed
opening tag that should be "<?php" instead of "<? php".
