Question about elseif syntax ...

You always see examples of elseif with an else following the last elseif. Such as below ...

if ($a > $b) {
print "a is bigger than b";
} elseif ($a == $b) {
print "a is equal to b";
} else {
print "a is smaller than b";
}

... is there anything wrong with leaving off the last else? In other words is the code above the same as the code below?

if ($a > $b) {
print "a is bigger than b";
} elseif ($a == $b) {
print "a is equal to b";
}

I don't think you need the last ELSE in the ELSEIF statement. I am fairly new to the PHP game, but I used the following code which worked fine:

if (empty($sortby)) {
echo "You have not selected a correct link";
}

elseif ($sortby == 1) {
$tmporder = organisation;
}

elseif ($sortby == 2) {
$tmporder = salary;
}

elseif ($sortby == 3) {
$tmporder = date_created;
}

That all seemed to work ok!! Hope this helps!!

if ($a > $b) {
print "a is bigger than b";
} elseif ($a == $b) {
print "a is equal to b";
}

you will not be able to see "a is smaller than b" if a smaller than b, nothing will be printed out

Yes, that's why the last else shows that. If a is not bigger than b and a is not equal to b, then... Now, let's see. What does the word if mean?

And else? And elseif? C'mon, it's english. Quite easy.
