The `alternative' way to write if/elseif/else statements, using if();
elseif(); else; endif; cannot be efficiently implemented without
adding a large amount of complexity to the 3.0 parser. Because of
this, the syntax has been changed:
Example D-5. Migration: old if..endif syntax
if ($foo);
echo "yep\n";
elseif ($bar);
echo "almost\n";
else;
echo "nope\n";
endif;
|
|
Example D-6. Migration: new if..endif syntax
if ($foo):
echo "yep\n";
elseif ($bar):
echo "almost\n";
else:
echo "nope\n";
endif;
|

Notice that the semicolons have been replaced by colons in all
statements but the one terminating the expression (endif).
