PHP Manual for

`else`

Often you'd want to execute a statement if a certain condition is met, and a different statement if the condition is not met. This is what else is for. else extends an if statement to execute a statement in case the expression in the if statement evaluates to FALSE. For example, the following code would display a is bigger than b if $a is bigger than$b, and a is NOT bigger than b otherwise:


<?php
if ($a > $b) {
    echo "a is bigger than b";
} else {
    echo "a is NOT bigger than b";
}
?>

The else statement is only executed if theif expression evaluated toFALSE, and if there were anyelseif expressions - only if they evaluated toFALSE as well (see elseif).
