if, then, and else

need a bit of help

[KrazyKid]

hi. two questions:

1) How to I add an else statement to a switch?
2) How do I use if, then statements?
thanks :D

There is no if ..then in PHP. You can use if else statements in case: of switch ..case statement.

[coho75]

if(condition) {

perform this

} else {

perform this

}

I'm not sure I completely understand your question, but if you are trying to get the "else" functionality out of a switch() statement... you are looking for the "default:" case.

switch($color)
{
case 'red': echo "red<BR>"; break;
case 'blue': echo "blue<BR>"; break;
default: echo "You did not enter blue or red!<BR>"; break;
}

Hope that is some help.

also

if (condition):

ifelse (condition:

endif;

or

if (condition)
single statement;
else
singlestatment;

and this one has another name but I don't know what it is.

$veriable = (condition)? (true statement) : (false statment);

$a=9;
$b=8;
$true_or_false=($a>$b)? ($answer="a > b") : ($answer="a!> b");
echo $true_or_false;
echo "<br />";
echo $answer;

echo "<br />";

$a=5;
$b=9;
$true_or_false=($a>$b)? ($answer="a &gt; b") : ($answer="a!&gt; b");
echo $true_or_false;
echo "<br />";
echo $answer;

Now, you know.

Actually, I think she meant she didn't know what it was called :)

That's the ternary operator ;)
