PHP If...Else Statements


Conditional statements are used to perform different actions based on different conditions.


PHP Conditional Statements

When writing code, you often need to perform different actions for different decisions. You can use conditional statements in your code to accomplish this.

PHP provides the following conditional statements:


PHP - if Statement

The if statement is used to execute code only if the specified condition is true.

Syntax

if (condition)
{
    code to be executed if condition is true;
}

The following example will output "Have a good day!" if the current time is less than 20:

Example

<?php
$t = date("H");
if ($t < "20")
{
    echo "Have a good day!";
}
?>

PHP - if...else Statement

To execute one block of code if a condition is true and another block if a condition is false, use the if....else statement.

Syntax

The following example will output "Have a good day!" if the current time is less than 20, and "Have a good night!" otherwise:

Example

<?php
$t = date("H");
if ($t < "20")
{
    echo "Have a good day!";
}
else
{
    echo "Have a good night!";
}
?>

PHP - if...elseif....else Statement

To execute one block of code if one of several conditions is true, use the if....elseif...else statement.

Syntax

if (condition)
{
    code to be executed if condition is true;
}
elseif (condition)
{
    code to be executed if elseif condition is true;
}
else
{
    code to be executed if none of the above conditions are true;
}

The following example will output "Have a good morning!" if the current time is less than 10, "Have a good day!" if the current time is between 10 and 20, and "Have a good night!" otherwise:

Example

<?php
$t = date("H");
if ($t < "10")
{
    echo "Have a good morning!";
}
elseif ($t < "20")
{
    echo "Have a good day!";
}
else
{
    echo "Have a good night!";
}
?>

The switch statement will be explained in the next chapter.
