 * I’ve doing a rather lengthy where different scripts are called depending on the
   page. Problem is I have a syntax error on my script and I’d like to figure out
   where my error is. This is a condensed version of my code:
 *     ```
       <?php if ( is_page( ( 3 ) {
       <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>script1.js"></script>
       } elseif ( is_page( ( 18 ) {
       <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/script18.js"></script>
       } endif; ?>
       ```
   
 * Where is my problem occurring and what is the fix?

 * If this is your exact code, then your parentheses are a bit off and you either
   need to echo your HTML `<script>` tags or break out of/into PHP. Also, if you’re
   going to use brackets, you shouldn’t use `endif;`.
 * Here’s an example that _should_ work (didn’t actually test it of course):
 *     ```
       <?php if ( is_page( 3 ) ) { ?>
           <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="<?php bloginfo( 'template_directory' ); ?>/script1.js"></script>
       <?php } elseif ( is_page( 18 ) ) { ?>
           <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="<?php bloginfo( 'template_directory' ); ?>/script18.js"></script>
       <?php } ?>
       ```
