PHP if/elsif/else

// I stopped at the if/elseif/else part... there're that many variations how you can write the same thing in PHP:

if ( $age > 10 ) {
    echo "foo";
} elseif ( 10 === $age ) { # strict comparison
    echo "bar";
} else {
    echo "baz";
}

// In above you can put the brackets on different lines. You can as well avoid them completely. Or you can do other stuff:

$age > 10
    ? print "bar"
    : print "foo";

// Or you can go nuts:

$result = "foo";
$age < 10 AND $result = "bar";
echo $result;

// and so on. This is just the tip of the iceberg. While Python is nice, I personally prefer PHP for allowing full type safety like you // know it from Java or C# while still having the ability to write with a very custom style.

// Another example of if:

if ( $age > 10 ) :
    print "foo";
elseif ( 10 === $age ) :
    print "baz";
else :
    print "bar";
endif;
