if elseif else Statements in PHP

To understand if, else if and else statements when we use these in the same script consider following example.


$apples="2";
if($apples=='3')
{
echo "Wrong";
}
elseif($apples=='4')
{
echo "Wrong";
}
else
{
echo "Correct";
}
?>

Output will be correct.
If apples are 3 then print wrong.
then if apples are 4 print wrong.
Otherwise print correct.
Variables apples has a value of 2. Not 3 or 4.
So the output is correct which is in else condition.

Elseif Conditions in PHP

This example is based on if elseif and else. It is as simple as telling script to do something if it finds A, If A is not present then look for B and if B is found then do something else. But if A and B are not found and there is something other then do anything else for all other cases.

An if/else statement is great if you only need to check for one condition. However, what would you do if you wanted to check whether its a morning, evening or afternoon. Consider following example.


$hour = date("H");
if ($hour < 12)
  {
  echo "Good morning";
  }
  elseif ($hour < 17)
     {
     echo "Good afternoon";
     }
     else
         {
         echo "Good evening";
         }
?>
