ignoring sections of code

Does anyone know if there is a way to ignore specific sections of code.

What I'm trying to do is use an if statement that when true will cancel out the code below it up to a certain point.

ie:

if ($whatever){

then don't read this code:

if ($suchandsuch){
echo $somehting
}

}

There is probably a simple answer to this but sometimes the simplest answers are the hardest to see.

Yes, If's cousin, "else" 🙂

If ($foo='bar') {
// do something

}
else {
// do something else

}

-m.

You might also want to use if's second cousin: elseif (or else if).

if($foo=='grok') {
// do this
}
else if ($foo=='bar'){
// do something else
}
else {
// if neither of the above are true, do this
}

Hey mustafa, what's with ($foo='bar') ?
go to http://www.hvt-automation.nl/yapf/faq.php?cmd=viewitem&itemid=95 and say 10 "hail vincent"'s

oops! a typo sir. But it is a common mistake - one that I make quite often unfortunately. Ranks right up there with a missing }.

🙂

I figured it had to be a typo. We've all done it plenty of times. Just couldn't pass up a chance to chastize someone over it.
