{if},{elseif},{else}
{if} statements in Smarty have much the same flexibility as PHP if statements, with a few added features for the template engine. Every {if} must be paired with a matching {/if} . {else} and {elseif} are also permitted. All PHP conditionals and functions are recognized, such as || , or , && , and , is_array() , etc.
If $security is enabled, only PHP functions from the IF_FUNCS array from $security_settings are allowed.
The following is a list of recognized qualifiers, which must be separated from surrounding elements by spaces. Note that items listed in [brackets] are optional. PHP equivalents are shown where applicable.
