title: PHP: Is there an alternative to using multiple if-statements?
body: <p>I am in the making of some code that needs to check if a users login details are correct, and I therefore need a lot of if-statements inside each other. If any of the conditions in the if-statements are not true, they should alle return the same value. Is there an easy way of doing this, instead of writing the same multiple times? I have made an example below to visualize my problem. As you can see here I write &quot; else { return false; }&quot; multiple time, and this is what I am wondering if you are able to do more efficiently. Maybe so I only have to write &quot;or else return false&quot; once.</p>
  <pre><code>//some code
  if (/*some condition*/) {
    //some code
    if (/*some new condition*/) {
      //some code
      if (/*some new condition*/) {
          //some code
        } else {
          return false;
        }
     } else {
       return false;
     }
  } else {
    return false;
  }
  </code></pre>
  <p>I am having a hard time finding a good way to explain my problem, so if you have a more elegant way of explaining it, do not hesitate to edit my post. I am also not quite sure that the title is as good as it could be, so if you have any ideas to an alternativ please say so :)</p>
