[SOLVED] Break out of If Statement

[maxudaskin]

Is it possible to break out of an if statement? I cannot use die because it finishes the execution of the whole page. How can I exit from one if statement?

I think break; works with if statements.

 

if ($something) {

  //do something...

  break;

}

There is no way to exit from an if statement, I really don't see the point in it either.

use a switch loop instead and use the break operator.

if ($something) {

  //do something...

  break;

}

 

 

break is only for: for, foreach, while, do, and switch

Can you show an example of why you would need to?

[MasterACE14]

does seem alittle strange breaking out of an if.

 

you use a if to test if something is correct. then it does something. if something isn't correct, then you use a else. or. you just use the if by itself.

 

so if you dont want the script to die. The if should return false and never execute. hence, why would you need to break the if?

<?php
if(isset($_POST['login'])){ // If Login Form was Sent
  if(empty($_POST['user'])){
     echo "You have not provided a username.";
  }
  if(empty($_POST['pass'])){
     echo "You have not provided a password.";
  }
  // If user or pass are empty, exit if statement
   // More code including if statements
}
?>

Um, where youve got the comments, your already out of the if() statement.

[Third_Degree]

add an else...

Nvm... I can just add in another if statement...
