If statement is a control statement. The body of the if statement is executed when condition is true or nonzero. In PHP we can pass either Boolean value or any other value.
			if (condition) {
				code to be executed if condition is true;
			}
			
			
			<?php
			$a=10;
			$b=10;
			if($a==$b)
			{
			echo"successful";
			}
			?>
			
			
			It is also a control statement. It is very useful in programming. If condition is not true the else part executed. Else has no condition.
			if (condition) {
				code to be executed if condition is true;
			} else {
				code to be executed if condition is false;
			}
			
			
			
			<?php
			$a=10;
			$b=10;
			if($a==$b)
			{
			echo"successful";
			}
			else
			{
			echo"failure";
			}
			?>
			
			
			if (condition) {
				code to be executed if this condition is true;
			} elseif (condition) {
				code to be executed if this condition is true;
			} else {
				code to be executed if all conditions are false;
			}
			
			
			<?php
			$a=10;
			$b=10;
			$c=10;
			if($a > $b and $a > $c)
			{
			echo"a is largest.";
			}
			elseif($b > $a and $b > $c)
			{
			echo"b is largest";
			}
			elseif($c > $a and $c > $b)
			{
			echo" c is largest";
			}
			else
			{
			echo"a=b=c";
			}
			?>
