if statement

if condition – this statement is used when we want to execute a code only one condition must be true.

}

?>


if – else statement

if-else condition – this statement is used when we want to execute a code in both the condition. if condition is true execute some code, if false execute another code.

if-else condition syntax:

if – elseif – else statement

if-elseif-else statement – this statement is used when we want to execute a code if one of multiple condition is true.

if-elseif-else statement syntax:

<?php

if (condition)
{
// if this condition is true then code to be executed
}
else if (condition)
{
// if this condition is true then code to be executed
}
else if (Condition)
{
// if this condition is true then code to be executed
}
else
{
// all conditions are false then this code to be executed
}
?>


switch statement

switch statement – same as if-elseif-else this statement is used we have multiple condition but only one condition true that code will be executed.

switch statement syntax:

<?php

switch (a)
{

case statement1:
if a=statement1 then code to be executed;
break;
case statement2:
if a=statement2 then code to be executed;
