Conditional Statements
Very often when you write code, you want to perform
different actions for different conditions. You can use
conditional statements in your code to do this.
In PHP we have the following conditional statements:
• if statement - executes some code if one condition is true
• if...else statement - executes some code if a condition is true
and another code if that condition is false
• if...elseif....else statement - executes different codes for more
than two conditions
• switch statement - selects one of many blocks of code to be
executed
PHP - The if Statement
The if statement executes some code if one
condition is true.
Syntax
if (condition) {
code to be executed if condition is true;
}
PHP - The if Statement
Example:
<?php
$grade = 50;
if ($grade > 50 ) {
echo “You are Passed";
}
?>
PHP - The if...Else Statement
The if....else statement executes some code if a
condition is true and another code if that condition is
false.
Syntax
if (condition) {
code to be executed if condition is true;
} else {
code to be executed if condition is false;
}
PHP - The if...else Statement
Example:
<?php
$grade = 50;
if ($grade > 50 ) {
echo "You are Passed";
} else {
echo "You are Failed";
}
?>
The if...elseif....else Statement
The if....elseif...else statement executes different codes
for more than two conditions.
Syntax
if (condition) {
code to be executed if condition is true;
} elseif (condition) {
code to be executed if condition is true;
} else {
code to be executed if condition is false;
}
The if...elseif....else Statement
Example:
<?php
$grade = 80;
if ($grade >= 90 ) {
echo "You are Excellent";
} elseif ($grade >= 70 ) {
echo "You are Very Good";
} else {
echo "Please Study More";
}
?>
The PHP switch Statement
Use the switch statement to select one of many blocks of code to be
executed.
Syntax:
switch (n) {
case label1:
code to be executed if n=label1;
break;
case label2:
code to be executed if n=label2;
break;
case label3:
code to be executed if n=label3;
break;
...
default:
code to be executed if n is different from all labels;
}
The PHP switch Statement
Example:
<?php
$grade = "A";
switch ($grade) {
case "A":
echo "You are Excellent";
break;
case "B":
echo "You are very Good";
break;
case "C":
echo "You are Good";
break;
default:
echo "Please Study More";
}
?>
