# If…Else Statement in PHP
‘If… Else’ statement is used to perform different [action](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/81713/strict-action-needed-on-counterfeit-drugs-in-india) for different decision. Conditional ([relational](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/10885/equality-relational-and-conditional-operators) [operator](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/144/union-intersection-and-except-operator-in-sql-server)) statements are used to perform different action on basis of different decision. So we can say that ‘If…Else’ statement generally used with conditional statement.\
##### In PHP, we have several conditional statements such as:
‘If’ statement: [If statement](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/23052/using-if-statement-to-check-individual-value-returned-from-a-query) is used to [execute](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/49/how-can-i-execute-a-php-script-using-command-line) line of code at some specified [condition](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/12711/select-query-with-and-condition).
##### Let’s we have an example, how to implement ‘If’ statement in php.
##### Syntax:
```
If(condition) code to be executed if condition is true;
```
##### Example:
```
If statement
```
##### Output:
From above example it is clear that if statement block is executed when specified condition will be right.
If…Else Statement: Use If…Else statement when specified condition is true or false. That is If… Else statement executes line of code even; it is in true condition or false condition.
To more understand about If…Else statement, let’s we have an example, how to implement If…else condition.
##### Syntax:
```
If(condition) code to be executed if condition is true;else code to be executed if condition is false;
```
##### Example:
```
If statement
```
##### Output:
**[Nested if](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/156832/what-is-a-c-sharp-program-to-find-the-largest-among-five-numbers-using-a-nested-if-else-statement)…else Statement:** Use nested if…else statement to [select](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/34066/use-select-operator-in-linq) one of several code [block](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/157599/explain-the-process-control-block-pcb-in-the-operating-system) to be executed.
Let’s we have an example, how to implement nested if…else statement in php.
##### Syntax:
```
If(condition) code to be executed if condition is true;else if(condition) code to be executed if condition is true; else if(condition) code to be executed if condition is true; .....................else code to be executed if condition is false;
```
##### Example:
```
If else if statement =75) { print "Distinction"; } else if ($percent >59 && $percent <=74) { print "First division"; } else if ( $percent >=45 && $percent <=59) { print "second Division"; } else if ($percent >=33 && $percent <45 ) { echo "Third Division"; } else { echo "Fail"; } ?>
```
##### Output:
