if there's nothing to do in the else block, then it's a bit pointless to
have one
eg
<input type="checkbox"<? if ($blah) echo " checked"; ?>
value="xxx"
name="blah">
see what I mean?

For any of you PHP legal eagles:
I rtfm'd, but the "elseif" page doesn't say -- is it okay to have
if ($x) {
// do something
} elseif ($y) {
// do something
} elseif ($z) {
// do something
}
without a final "else"? My code works fine -- so I know that you -can-
do this. What I was wondering is if this is something that is likely to
get deprecated at some point in the future. IOW, is it "legitimate",
regardless of how it works?
Thanks,
Erik
PS: is it bad coding style to do the above? I'd like comments on that
too if applicable. My if statements check for conditions and then set a
variable, and later in the script if that variable exists then something
else happens. Is this "sloppy"?
