No, that's not how it works. If the condition is met, the contents of
the if block are executed. If not, and there is an ELSE block, those
commands are executed. Then, the script continues after the whole
if/then/else structure.
Maybe you are thinking of an IF/ELSEIF/ELSEIF/.../ELSE structure?
if ( $row[5] == "Level1" ) {
// your commands
} elseif ( $row[5] == "Level2" ) {
// your commands
} else {
// your commands
}
This would work in the way you are thinking. Hope this helps your
understanding.
