Correct, in part. The last ELSE has a starting {, but no ending }.
It should go before the ?> not </html>, that would place it outside the PHP
code block.

the correct structure would be:
<html>
<?php
if ( condition ) {
multiple ;
statements for condition=true, all ended with ";" (semi-colon) ;
}
elseif ( other_condition) {
multiple ;
statements for other_condition=true, all ended with ";" (semi-colon) ;
}
else {
other block ;
of multiple lines ;
}
?>
</html>
Note that curly braces (expression group) does not need the semicolon after
them.
If the IF, ELSEIF or ELSE constructs just need to execute one line then
<html>
<?php
if (condition)
echo "whatever" ;
?>
</html>
the constructs themselves don't need an ending semicolon
