Re: [PHP] elseif without else
If you are setting a variable inside of the if statements, and then
checking that variable later, then I would say you should either use an
else statement to give that variable a default value, or you should set the
variable to a default value before the if statements Your code is
legitimate, ie there is no reason you *have* to have an else statement

without a final else? My code works fine -- so I know that you -can- do
this What I was wondering is if this is something that is likely to get
deprecated at some point in the future IOW, is it legitimate,

Thanks,

PS: is it bad coding style to do the above? I'd like comments on that too
if applicable My if statements check for conditions and then set a
variable, and later in the script if that variable exists then something
else happens Is this sloppy?

Perfectly legitimate... it is much like having a switch statement without a
default clause.

RE: [PHP] elseif without else
if there's nothing to do in the else block, then it's a bit pointless to
have one
eg
input type=checkbox? if ($blah) echo checked; ? value=xxx
name=blah
see what I mean?
