• if...else statement − use this statement if you want to execute a set of code when
a condition is true and another if the condition is not true
• elseif statement − is used with the if...else statement to execute a set of code
if one of the several condition is true
• switch statement − is used if you want to select one of many blocks of code to
be executed, use the Switch statement. The switch statement is used to avoid
long blocks of if..elseif..else code.
Syntax
if (condition)
code to be executed if condition is true;
else
code to be executed if condition is false;
Example
The following example will output "Have a nice weekend!" if the current day is Friday,
Otherwise, it will output "Have a nice day!":
<html>
<body>
<?php
$d = date("D");
if ($d == "Fri")
echo "Have a nice weekend!";
else
echo "Have a nice day!";
?>
</body>
</html>
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;
Example
The following example will output "Have a nice weekend!" if the current day is Friday,
and "Have a nice Sunday!" if the current day is Sunday. Otherwise, it will output "Have
a nice day!"
<html>
<body>
<?php
$d = date("D");
if ($d == "Fri")
echo "Have a nice weekend!";
else
echo "Have a nice day!";
?>
</body>
</html>
Syntax
switch (expression){
case label1:
code to be executed if expression = lab el1;
break;
case label2:
code to be executed if expression = label2;
break;
default:
code to be executed
if expression is different
from both label1 and label2;
}
Example
The switch statement works in an unusual way. First it evaluates given expression then
seeks a lable to match the resulting value. If a matching value is found then the code
associated with the matching label will be executed or if none of the label matches then
statement will execute any specified default code.
<html>
<body>
<?php
$d = date("D");
switch ($d){
case "Mon":
echo "Today is Monday";
break;
case "Tue":
echo "Today is Tuesday";
break;
case "Wed":
echo "Today is Wednesday";
break;
case "Thu":
echo "Today is Thursday";
break;
case "Fri":
echo "Today is Friday";
break;
case "Sat":
echo "Today is Saturday";
break;
case "Sun":
echo "Today is Sunday";
break;
default:
echo "Wonder which day is this ?";
}
?>
</body>
</html>
It will produce the following result −
Today is Monday
