There are no brackets necessary if you only have one line of code to be executed in the case. For example: if($var == 1)
    echo "Var equals 1";
} else {
    echo Var does not equal 1";
}

This will certianly give a parse error, your sample should be: if ($var == 1)

    echo "Var equals 1";

else

    echo "Var does not equal 1";

But this is not valid: if($var == 1)
    echo "Var equals ";
    echo "1";
} else {
    ....
}

Again, the sample should look like (but ofcourse this one does not work): if ($var == 1)

    echo "Var equals ";
    echo "1";

else

    echo "Var does not equal 1";

I know this is correct: if ($something) { ... } else { ... } But I recently saw someone use this instead: if($something): ... else: ... Is that also correct?? No brackets needed?
