Are elseif and else if completely synonymous, or is there a difference?
Does Zend have an accepted "standard" on which one to use?
While I personally dislike seeing elseif in the code, I just need to know if they're synonymous and the PHP manual isn't the easiest to search.
Yes, "elseif" and "else if" both are synonymous, alike in meaning and significance. You can mix "else if" with "elseif" together.
For Example - We can use "else if" and "elseif" together.
if($condition){
...
}
else if($condition){
...
}
elseif($condition){
...
}
Nested:
if($condition){
...
}
else if($condition){
if($condition){
...
}
elseif($condition){
...
}
}
