<?php

if ($a > $b) {

First of all, where did you set $a and $b ? With out such a variable how it works ?

The error is because

esleif

Spelling mistake, use else if

Fixed code

<?php

$a = 1;
$b = 100;

if ($a > $b) {
    echo 'a is bigger than b';
}  else if ($a == $b)  {
   echo 'a is equal to b';
}  else  ($a < $b) {
   echo 'a is smaller than b';
}

echo '<p>Value of $a = ' . $a . ' and value of $b = ' . $b . '</p>';
