if, elseif, else
while
for

But there are still more.  We&#8217;ll first look at the switch construct.
Switch
The syntax for a switch statement looks something like this:
12345678910switch &#40;expression&#41; &#123;
&#160; &#160; case value1:
&#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; //some code

		<description><![CDATA[There are a few other types of loops in addition to while loops that we learned about in Part 4.
Do-While Loop
A do-while loop is very similar to a while loop.  The only difference is that the condition is evaluated after each loop iteration, rather than before.  The syntax is like this:
123do &#123;

		<description><![CDATA[In programming, loops are used to execute the same lines of code multiple times.  The simplest type of loop is called a while loop.  The lines of code in the body of a while loop will continue executing over and over WHILE the condition is true.  The syntax looks like this:

		<description><![CDATA[Welcome to part 3 of these basics of PHP tutorials.  In this part, we are going to learn how to make if statements.
The syntax for an if statement look like this:
123if &#40;condition&#41; &#123;
&#160; &#160; &#160;//Run this code if condition is true
&#125;
Where it says &#8220;condition&#8221; we insert a Boolean expression, an expression that either has <a href="http://www.atomicpages.net/blog/2009/11/14/the-basics-of-php-part-3/" class="more-link">More &#62;</a>]]></description>

In this tutorial we are going to learn about how to get data from an HTML form (inputted by a user) so that we can use that data in a PHP script.
There are two methods <a href="http://www.atomicpages.net/blog/2009/10/15/the-basics-of-php-part-2/" class="more-link">More &#62;</a>]]></description>
