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 C.5. Migration: old if..endif syntax

copy to clipboard
<?php if ($foo);
   echo "yep\n";
elseif ($bar);
   echo "almost\n";
else;
   echo "nope\n";
endif; ?>

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

copy to clipboard
<?php 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Notice that the semicolons have been replaced by colons in all statements but the one terminating the expression (endif).
