## Conditionals
|
|
Conditionals in PHP are written using the `if`, `elseif`, `else` syntax. Using conditionals allows you to perform different actions depending on different inputs and values provided to a page at run time. In PHP conditionals are often referred to as control structures.
|
|
|
|
### If
|
|
```PHP
|
|
<?php
|
|
if ($_GET['name'] == "freecodecamp"){
|
|
echo "You viewed the freeCodeCamp Page!";
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
### Elseif
|
|
```PHP
|
|
<?php
|
|
if ($_GET['name'] == "freecodecamp"){
|
|
echo "You viewed the freeCodeCamp Page!";
|
|
} elseif ($_GET['name'] == "freecodecampguide"){
|
|
echo "You viewed the freeCodeCamp Guide Page!";
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
### Else
|
|
```PHP
|
|
<?php
|
|
if ($_GET['name'] == "freecodecamp"){
|
|
echo "You viewed the freeCodeCamp Page!";
|
|
} elseif ($_GET['name'] == "freecodecampguide"){
|
|
echo "You viewed the freeCodeCamp Guide Page!";
|
|
} else {
|
|
echo "You viewed a page that does not exist yet!";
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
### Note
|
|
In cases where you have a lot of possible conditions you may want to use a <a href="/php/switch">Switch Statement</a>.
