Job Application Tests at "B2 Werbeagentur"

B2 Werbeagentur, Braunschweig.
Facebook "B2 Werbeagentur".
Facebook "FRONTEND-ENTWICKLER (m,w)", 2012-05-07 on B2's Facebook wall - “Du hast mindestens 4 Fehler im Code entdeckt?”.
Answer by a single poster on the Facebook wall:
1. beim ersten if geht keine geschweifte Klammer auf
2. es müsste heißen jetzt_weiterempfehlen();
3. hinter dem ECHO Satz fehlt ein Semikolon
4. PHP wird nicht geschlossen.
Some other answers:
- ?> vergessen... $du undefiniert, jetzt_bewerben() undefiniert, jetzt_weiterempfehlen undefiniert
- eckige Klammer fehlt; String mit Apostroph angefangen, aber mit “Gänsefüßchen” beendet; Semikolon im else-Zweig fehlt.

<?php

if ($du == "Frontend-Entwickler (m/w)")

jetzt_bewerben();

} else if ($du == 'Ich kenne einen Frontend-Entwickler (m/w)") {

jetzt_weiterempfehlen(jetzt_weiterempfehlen());

} else {

echo "Bitte diesen Beitrag teilen, teilen, teilen!"
