if..endif syntax<br />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 E-5. Migration: old if..endif syntax<br /><br />if ($foo);<br /> echo "yep\n";<br />elseif ($bar);<br /> echo "almost\n";<br />else;<br /> echo "nope\n";<br />endif; <br /> <br />Example E-6. Migration: new if..endif syntax<br /><br />if ($foo):<br /> echo "yep\n";<br />elseif ($bar):<br /> echo "almost\n";<br />else:<br /> echo "nope\n";<br />endif; <br /> <br />Notice that the semicolons have been replaced by colons in all statements but the one terminating the expression (endif). <br /><br />
