Cross Ref > Statements

By Mike Prestwood

Perl versus PHP: A side by side comparison between Perl and PHP.

Statements

Common statements such as if statements, loops, etc.

If Statement

[Other Languages]

Perl: if..elsif..else

Notice Perl is different from most other languages in it's spelling of elsif (else is not spelled correctly).

Syntax Example:

$x = 8;

if ($x == 10) {
 print "X is 10.";
} elsif ($x < 10) {
 print "X is less than 10.";
} else {
 print "X must be greater than 10.";
}

PHP: if..elseif..else

The PHP if statement consists of using if, elseif, and else.

Syntax Example:

$x = 8;

if ($x == 10) {
 echo "x is 10.";  
} elseif ($x < 10) {
 echo "x is less than 10.";
} else {
 echo "x must be greater than 10.";  
};
