I think it is, but I've never heard of anyone using it. One teensy thing;
the endif should be followed by a semicolon rather than a colon, as it
terminates the compound statement.
Of course, most normal people use:
if (cond) {}
elseif (cond) {}
and 'endif' is then moot as the scope of the branch is terminated by the
last closing brace.

Thanks for you reply, the if (ops) else is the only one
could find listed in the docs. and you right that's the
why normal people do it, but this devoloper used to be a COBAL
programer which explain it.
Thanks again,
David

That alternative syntax is good for when doing conditional HTML loops. For
example, for me, the following looks odd and untidy:
if (something) {
?
pHello/p
?
}
Whereas this is much neater:
? if (something): ?
pHello/p
? endif; ?
