<title>Alternative syntax for control structures</title>
+ <para>
+ <warning>
+ <simpara>
+ Alternative syntax is deprecated as of PHP 4. Basically,
+ it just generates unreadable code, and it gets
+ very complicated when mixing it with the normal syntax.
+ Although there are no plans to break this syntax, it
+ cannot be ruled out that one day this will stop working.
+ You are warned.

<para>
PHP offers an alternative syntax for some of its control
structures; namely, <literal>if</literal>,
