In fact since the elseif condition is the exact logical complement of the if condition (by
application of deMorgan's rules), you only need:
if( strlen( $UserID ) != 0
&& strlen( $UserPassword ) != 0
&& strlen( $SecretPassword ) != 0
&& strlen( $UserMail ) != 0 )
{
Do something
}
else
{
Do Something else
}
Cheers!
