title: If-else Statement
|
|
---
|
|
## Introduction
|
|
If/Else is a conditional statement where depending on the truthiness of a condition, different actions will be performed.
|
|
|
|
> **Note:** The `{}` brackets are only needed if the condition has more than one action statement; however, it is best practice to include them regardless.
|
|
|
|
## If Statement
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
<?php
|
|
|
|
if (condition) {
|
|
statement1;
|
|
statement2;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
> **Note:** The `else` statement is optional.
|
|
## If/Else Statement
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
<?php
|
|
|
|
if (condition) {
|
|
statement1;
|
|
statement2;
|
|
} else {
|
|
statement3;
|
|
statement4;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
> **Note:** `elseif` should always be written as one word.
|
|
## If/Elseif/Else Statement
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
<?php
|
|
|
|
if (condition1) {
|
|
statement1;
|
|
statement2;
|
|
} elseif (condition2) {
|
|
statement3;
|
|
statement4;
|
|
} else {
|
|
statement5;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
## Nested If/Else Statement
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
<?php
|
|
|
|
if (condition1) {
|
|
if (condition2) {
|
|
statement1;
|
|
statement2;
|
|
} else {
|
|
statement3;
|
|
statement4;
|
|
}
|
|
} else {
|
|
if (condition3) {
|
|
statement5;
|
|
statement6;
|
|
} else {
|
|
statement7;
|
|
statement8;
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Multiple Conditions
|
|
|
|
Multiple conditions can be used at once with the "or" (||), "xor", and "and" (&&) logical operators.
|
|
|
|
For instance:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
<?php
|
|
|
|
if (condition1 && condition2) {
|
|
echo 'Both conditions are true!';
|
|
} elseif (condition 1 || condition2) {
|
|
echo 'One condition is true!';
|
|
} else (condition1 xor condition2) {
|
|
echo 'One condition is true, and one condition is false!';
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Ternary Operators
|
|
|
|
Another important option to consider when using short If/Else statements is the ternary operator.
|
|
|
|
Also there is an alternative syntax for control structures
|
|
~~~~
|
|
if (condition1):
|
|
statement1;
|
|
endif;
|
|
else
|
|
statement5;
|
|
~~~~
