How to skip to next "elseif" in PHP statement? - php

Question

If you have an if/else statement like the one below, is there a way to check something inside the first matching if and tell it to skip ahead to the next else/if, and do this multiple times?
continue seemed promising after some googling, but didn't work so maybe that's only for loops
if ($teamscore > 100) {
if ($somethingelse=$something) {
//skip to the next "elseif"
}
} elseif ($teamscore > 95) {
if ($somethingelse=$something) {
//skip to the next "elseif"
}
} elseif ($teamscore > 90) {
} else {
}

It seems like what you're going for is sort of like a switch, but you can't evaluate separate expressions in each case, so you can't use it for inequalities like this. I think this structure could be used instead.
while (true) {
if ($teamscore > 100) {
// DO STUFF
if ($somethingelse != $something) {
break;
}
}
if ($teamscore > 95) {
// DO STUFF
if ($somethingelse != $something) {
break;
}
}
if ($teamscore > 90) {
// DO STUFF
if ($somethingelse != $something) {
break;
}
}
break;
}
However, if // DO STUFF is the same thing in each if block, or a variation of the same thing that fits a pattern, you probably could use a loop instead to avoid the repetition.
for ($score = 100; $score > 85; $score -= 5) {
if ($teamscore > $score) {
// DO STUFF
}
if ($somethingelse != $something) {
break;
}
}

You should turn your condition bodies (in my example, the echo's) into functions:
if ($foo == 'bar') {
echo 'it is bar!';
} elseif ($foo == 'foobar') {
echo 'it is is foobar!';
} else {
echo 'it\'s nada!';
}
becomes:
function sayBar()
{
return 'it is bar!';
}
function sayFooBar()
{
return 'it is foobar!';
}
function sayNada()
{
return 'it\'s nada!';
}
if ($foo == 'bar') {
echo sayBar();
if ($bar == 'Treybake is awesome') {
echo sayFooBar();
}
} elseif ($foo == 'foobar') {
echo sayFooBar();
} else {
echo sayNada();
}

you might be looking for somthing like this,
if ($teamscore > 100 && $somethingelse !== $something) {
} elseif ($teamscore > 95 && $somethingelse !== $something) {
} elseif ($teamscore > 90 && $somethingelse !== $something) {
} else {
}
