[SOLVED] newbie logic question

Hey guys in the following code structure would the ELSE only apply to the second IF statement or is there any change it could be affected by the first IF?

 

Structure

ELSE

I guess you meant any chance. It depends on how you nest your statements. Consider two examples:

 

<?php
if($somecondition == true){
if($othercondition == true){
	//$somecondition is true and othercondition is true
}else{
	//$somecondition is true and othercondition is false
}
}
?>

 

<?php
if($somecondition == true){
	if($othercondition == true){
	//$somecondition is true and othercondition is true	
}
}else{
//$somecondition is false and othercondition is either true or false
}
?>

 

I dont think i can explain it better in words than by example, so i wont as ill just confuse the issue. Hopefully you understand.
