Once the first if statement is evaluated as true, the else statement
will never be executed -- regardless of the outcome of the two nested
ifs. I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish here, but perhaps
all three of your if conditions should be combined into one if condition
ANDed (&&) together? Or maybe the if...elseif...else structure is what
you need.

Hope this helps.
