PHP if / else / elseif statement
Description
The if statement execute a single statement or a group of statements if a certain condition is met. It can not do anything if the condition is false. For this purpose else is used.
Syntax
if (condition) execute statement(s) if condition is true; else execute statement(s) if condition is false;
Example :
<?php
$overtime=60;
if ($overtime<=50)
{
$pay_amt=1200;
$medical=1000;
echo "Pay Amount : $pay_amt : Medical : $medical";
}
else
{
$pay_amt=2000;
$medical=1500;
echo "Pay Amount : $pay_amt : Medical : $medical";
}
?>
As we have initialized the $overtime value as 60, therefore the else statement will be executed.
