If / Else / ElseIf Statements

As of March 2017, Branch Code is deprecated and no longer developed. Use the Twig syntax instead.

The basic construct of an if statement includes the following format.

{if} {/if}

The "{if}" part includes the actual logic for the if statement.

The "{/if}" is the closing part of the if statement.

You can also do {else} to handle an alternate logic path or do {elseif} to test another if test. Below is some basic examples.

{if #var length > 2}
   <p>#var has a string length greater than 2</p>
{else}
   <p>#var is too small</p>
{/if}

{if #var contains "hello"}
   <p>Hello world!</p>
{elseif #var contains "boo"}
   <p>Boo!</p>
{else}
   <p>Goodbye</p>
{/if}

< Less than

Examples

<= Less than or equal to

Examples

== = eq equals Equals

Examples

=== Tests to see if two items are identical. This is a stronger comparison than just see if they equal each other. In addition to testing if the values equal each other it will also test to see if their character type (i.e. string, integer, array, etc) is the same.

> Greater than

>= Greater than or equal to

Statement-Parts

OperatorDescription
contains Checks to see if the variable contains a value. If the variable is an array then it looks to see if the value exists in the array (note that it checks array values not array keys). If the variable is a string then it checks to see if the value matches the variable or if the value is a substring of the variable.

Examples

containsKey

Checks to see if the array contains a specific array key.

Typically the value to test is a variable containing a string and typically the array to test in is a variable holding an array. 

Note that this checks array keys values not array values.

Examples

count

This is used to check to see if an array has a certain size. 

Examples

dateIsAfter

Checks to see if one date occurs after another date. This literally tests to see if one date is at least 1 second after another date.

The variable(s) being tested should either contain a UNIX timestamp or be a date string like:
October 1, 2012 10:00 am.

Examples

dateIsBefore

Checks to see if one date occurs before another date. This literally tests to see if one date is at least 1 second before another date.

The variable(s) being tested should either contain a UNIX timestamp or be a date string like:
October 1, 2012 10:00 am.

Examples

dayIsAfter

Checks to see if one date is the next day or later compared to another date.

The variable(s) being tested should either contain a UNIX timestamp or be a date string like:
October 1, 2012 10:00 am.

Examples

dayIsBefore

Checks to see if one date is the previous day or earlier compared to another date.

The variable(s) being tested should either contain a UNIX timestamp or be a date string like:
October 1, 2012 10:00 am.

Examples

doesNotExist

Checks to see if a variable either does not exists or does not have a value.

Examples

endsWith

Checks to see if the string ends with a certain value. The length of the value to test does not matter. 

Examples

exists exist

Checks to see if a variable is a string with a value, a number or an array with one or more values.

Examples

hourIsAfter

Checks to see if one date is the next hour or later compared to another date.

The variable(s) being tested should either contain a UNIX timestamp or be a date string like:
October 1, 2012 10:00 am.

Examples

hourIsBefore

Checks to see if one date is the previous hour or earlier compared to another date.

The variable(s) being tested should either contain a UNIX timestamp or be a date string like:
October 1, 2012 10:00 am.

Examples

isArray Checks to see if the variable is an array

Examples

isBool Checks to see if the variable is a boolean (true or false) value.

Examples

isEven

Checks to see if the variable value is an even number.

Examples

isFloat isDouble

Checks to see if the type of the variable is float (a real number).

Examples

isInArray

Checks to see if the a value exists in an array. (Also see isNotInArray)

Typically the value to test is a variable containing a string and typically the array to test in is a variable holding an array. 

Note that this checks array values not array keys.

Examples

isInt isInteger isLong

Checks to see if the type of the variable is an integer.

Examples

isNotInArray

Checks to see if the a value does not exist in an array. (Also see isInArray)

Typically the value to test is a variable containing a string and typically the array to test in is a variable holding an array. 

Note that this checks array values not array keys.

Examples

isNull

Checks to see if the variable is NULL.

Examples

isNumeric

Checks to see if the variable is numeric. Numeric strings consist of optional sign, any number of digits, optional decimal part and optional exponential part. Thus +0123.45e6 is a valid numeric value. Hexadecimal notation (0xFF) is allowed too but only without sign, decimal and exponential part.

Examples

isOdd

Checks to see if the variable value is an odd number.

Examples

isString

Checks to see if the type of the variable is a string.

Examples

length

This is used to check to see if a string is a certain length. 

Examples

minuteIsAfter

Checks to see if one date is the next minute or later compared to another date.

The variable(s) being tested should either contain a UNIX timestamp or be a date string like:
October 1, 2012 10:00 am.

Examples

minuteIsBefore

Checks to see if one date is the previous minute or earlier compared to another date.

The variable(s) being tested should either contain a UNIX timestamp or be a date string like:
October 1, 2012 10:00 am.

Examples

monthIsAfter

Checks to see if one date is the next month or later compared to another date.

The variable(s) being tested should either contain a UNIX timestamp or be a date string like:
October 1, 2012 10:00 am.

Examples

monthIsBefore

Checks to see if one date is the previous month or earlier compared to another date.

The variable(s) being tested should either contain a UNIX timestamp or be a date string like:
October 1, 2012 10:00 am.

Examples

startsWith

Checks to see if the string starts with a certain value. The length of the value to test does not matter. 

Examples

yearIsAfter

Checks to see if one date is the next year or later compared to another date.

The variable(s) being tested should either contain a UNIX timestamp or be a date string like:
October 1, 2012 10:00 am.

Examples

yearIsBefore

Checks to see if one date is the previous year or earlier compared to another date.

The variable(s) being tested should either contain a UNIX timestamp or be a date string like:
October 1, 2012 10:00 am.
