note 119454 added to control-structures.elseif

The reason you can't separate elseif using the alternative is... because you are using the alternative syntax, so if you want to separate elseif you must write: if($a > $b): echo $a." is greater than ".$b; else: if($a == $b): // Will not compile. echo "The above line causes a parse error."; endif; endif; but i thing it makes no sense if you are using alternative syntax if($a > $b): echo $a." is greater than ".$b; elseif ($a == $b): // Will not compile. echo "The above line causes a parse error."; endif; ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 186.15.1.11 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/control-structures.elseif.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/119454 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119454/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119454/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119454/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119454/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119454/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119454/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119454 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/119454 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
