if..endif syntax

The `alternative' way to write if/elseif/else statements, using if(); elseif(); else; endif; cannot be efficiently implemented without adding a large amount of complexity to the 3.0 parser. Because of this, the syntax has been changed:

Example F.5. Migration: old if..endif syntax

if ($foo);
   echo
"yep\n";
elseif (
$bar);
   echo
"almost\n";
else;
   echo
"nope\n";
endif;
?>


Example F.6. Migration: new if..endif syntax

if ($foo):
   echo
"yep\n";
elseif (
$bar):
   echo
"almost\n";
else:
   echo
"nope\n";
endif;
?>


Notice that the semicolons have been replaced by colons in all statements but the one terminating the expression (endif).
