Typing an if $_POST breaks page?

Question

I have two pages one with the form submission and the other for the PHP code. I have a h1 heading written in the PHP file and works just fine. However when I add my if ($_POST['submit']){} statement the page doesn't display anything at all including the code that came before the statement? I have tried googling the issue but I was not able to find anything that seemed to relate. Here's my code: for the PHP page:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
   <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
   </head>
   <body>
      <?php
      echo "<h1>This is php!</h1><br>"
      if($_POST['submit']){
          echo 'form submited!';
      }
      ?>

   </body>
</html>

Then my form from my html page:

<form id="signUpForm" action="AddAcount2.php" method="post">
    <input id="email" type="text" name="email" placeholder="Email"><br>
    <input id="uid" type="text" name="uid" placeholder="User Name"><br>
    <input id="password" type="text" name="password" placeholder="Password"><br>
    <button id="signUpFormButton" type="submit" name="submit">Sign Up!</button>
</form>

you're missing a `;` at the end of your echo statement. it's probably throwing an error, but you have errors disabled. — mister martin, Nov 30 '16 at 14:43
I believe you have turn of error reporting and you have a error in -> echo "
This is php!

" . Put a semicolon at the end — Rafael Shkembi, Nov 30 '16 at 14:43
@mistermartin Not only that. The code doesn't even go till that. — Praveen Kumar Purushothaman, Nov 30 '16 at 14:43
missing semi-colon at the end of your `echo`. try to check if your `$_POST['submit']` has a value e.g `isset($_POST['submit'])` — noodlesegg, Nov 30 '16 at 14:45
Thank you everyone! After checking all my semi-colons, it worked. Also @Praveen Kumar thank you for the tip on that, it was interesting and made more sense then the tutorials that I used to learn PHP. — Dakota Miller, Nov 30 '16 at 15:00
@DakotaMiller You are welcome. These comes by practise and experience, not just following a tutorial. Glad that you came here and got it solved. `:D` — Praveen Kumar Purushothaman, Nov 30 '16 at 15:02
@Praveen Kumar and I learned something new! So double bonus. — Dakota Miller, Nov 30 '16 at 15:09
