Repeat statement with elseif?

[Novice@PHP]

I have this code which checks for the word "Big Ben" and if it's not there it outputs some html. I want t be able to make another statement to also check for the word "London Tower" and if it's not there then to check for the word "Canary Wharf",

 

So far I've only managed one statement without the code breaking, how do I add the others in as well.

 

<?php $astacker=get_post_meta($post->ID, 'thesite', true); if ( $astacker == [b]'Big Ben'[/b]) { ?>
<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/feedsgrabstack.php");?>
<?php }else { ?>
<div id="splitter"><div class="clear">
<a href="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "linktosource", true);?>">Click Here To View Answers</a> <span style="float:right;"><a href="#related">See Related Questions</a></div></div>
<?php } ?>

Use an else if.

Can anyone elaborate on the guy aboves answer and show an example of elseif using the code above without echoing?

an example

 

<?php
$astacker=get_post_meta($post->ID, 'thesite', true);
if ( $astacker == [b]'Big Ben'[/b]) {
     include(TEMPLATEPATH."/feedsgrabstack.php");
} else if ( $astacker == [b]'London Tower'[/b] {
     // Do something else..
} else {
?>
<div id="splitter"><div class="clear">
<a href="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "linktosource", true);?>">Click Here To View Answers</a> <span style="float:right;"><a href="#related">See Related Questions</a></div></div>
<?php
}
?>

If you want to do the same thing if the variable is any of those, then something like this:

 

$landmarks = array('Big Ben',  'London Tower',  'Canary Wharf');

if(in_array($astacker, $landmarks)) {
   include(TEMPLATEPATH."/feedsgrabstack.php");
   // do something if any of the three match
} else {
  // do default thing
}

 

Might be easier with a switch if you want to do something different depending on the value of the variable:

 

switch($astacker) {

   case 'Big Ben':
      include(TEMPLATEPATH."/feedsgrabstack.php");
      break;

   case 'London Tower':
      // do something
      break;

   case 'Canary Wharf':
      // do something
      break;

   default:
      // do default thing
      break;
}
