In Addition to Rudy's else/else if speed testing. if(condition): elseif(condition): else: endif; is the slowest else/elseif. <?php $start = microtime(true); for($i = 0; $i < 100000000; $i++) { if(2 === 0) {} else if(2 === 1) {} else {} } $end = microtime(true); echo "1: ".($end - $start)."<br />"; unset($start, $end); $start = microtime(true); for($i = 0; $i < 100000000; $i++) { if(2 === 0) {} elseif(2 === 1) {} else {} } $end = microtime(true); echo "2: ".($end - $start) ."<br />"; for($i = 0; $i < 100000000; $i++) { if(2 === 0):elseif(2 === 1):else:endif; } $end = microtime(true); echo "3: ".($end - $start) ."<br />"; ?> == Result 1: 14.427691221237 2: 14.069947004318 3: 27.981864929199 ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 112.206.73.127 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.elseif.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/105617 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105617/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105617/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105617/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105617/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105617/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105617/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/105617 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/105617 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
