PHP - if/elseif/else

One of the basics in most languages is the if-elseif-else structure. If you can't handle this I advise you to stop immedialty with programming/scripting !

The if-elseif-else structure is -normally- very easy !

Example :

    <?php
    /*
    http://www.randombase.com
    */
    
    $apples = 5;            //There are 5 apples
    
    If ($apples < 5) 
    {
        echo 'There are less then 5 apples';
    } 
    elseif ($apples == 5)
    {
        echo 'There are exactly 5 apples';
    } 
    else
    {
        echo 'There are more then 5 apples';
    }
    ?>
When we dissect this script in normal language it will look like :

When There are less then 5 apples the page will say : 'There are less then 5 apples' but if the total of apples is equal to 5 then the page will tell us 'There are exactly 5 apples' and when neither of these 2 is correct There is only 1 possibility and that is that There are more then 5 apples !
