function gooble($alGore) { echo "This is a "; if ($alGore!="President") { echo "longer "; } echo "sentence.<br />"; } gooble("Vice President"); gooble("Crazy Mountain Man); gooble("President");
If you want the function to terminate when the conditional is false, then you need an Else statement to do so, otherwise it's going to keep going.
