Question

Is it ok to leave out the final else statement in an elseif block in PHP. Is this code OK

if ( condition ):
   // code
elseif ( othercondition ):
   // more code
endif;

or should it have else at the end ?

if ( condition ):
   // code
elseif ( othercondition ):
   // more code
else
   // more code
endif;

I’m sure it must be but I cant get it confirmed anywhere. Edit – I’ve tried it and it works but I just want to be sure.

if you don’t need a final else-block, don’t write one. it’s just senseless to have a block of code (possibly containing just a this is useless-comment) that isn’t needed.
