 <h2 class="title"><i>else</i></h2>

 <p class="para">

  Often you&#039;d want to execute a statement if a certain condition is

  met, and a different statement if the condition is not met.  This

  is what <i>else</i> is for.  <i>else</i>

  extends an <i>if</i> statement to execute a statement

  in case the expression in the <i>if</i> statement

  evaluates to <b><tt class="constant">FALSE</tt></b>.  For example, the following

  code would display <span class="computeroutput">a is greater than

  b</span> if <var class="varname">$a</var> is greater than

  <var class="varname">$b</var>, and <span class="computeroutput">a is NOT greater

  than b</span> otherwise:

  </p><div class="informalexample">

   <div class="example-contents programlisting">

<div class="phpcode"><code><span style="color: #000000">

<span style="color: #0000BB">&lt;?php<br /></span><span style="color: #007700">if&nbsp;(</span><span style="color: #0000BB">$a&nbsp;</span><span style="color: #007700">&gt;&nbsp;</span><span style="color: #0000BB">$b</span><span style="color: #007700">)&nbsp;{<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;echo&nbsp;</span><span style="color: #DD0000">"a&nbsp;is&nbsp;greater&nbsp;than&nbsp;b"</span><span style="color: #007700">;<br />}&nbsp;else&nbsp;{<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;echo&nbsp;</span><span style="color: #DD0000">"a&nbsp;is&nbsp;NOT&nbsp;greater&nbsp;than&nbsp;b"</span><span style="color: #007700">;<br />}<br /></span><span style="color: #0000BB">?&gt;</span>

</span>

</code></div>

   </div>



  </div><p>



  The <i>else</i> statement is only executed if the

  <i>if</i> expression evaluated to

  <b><tt class="constant">FALSE</tt></b>, and if there were any

  <i>elseif</i> expressions - only if they evaluated to

  <b><tt class="constant">FALSE</tt></b> as well (see <a href="control-structures.elseif.php" class="link">elseif</a>).
