newbie question

Hey, I am learning PHP, and I understand it so far…but..lol…What does the ‘{‘ stand for in the code?

Is it like a selector?

[CODE]
<?php

if ($numTries > 10) {
$msg = ‘Blocking your account…’;
}
else {
$msg = ‘Welcome!’;
}

?>
[/CODE]

And more complex, nested:

[CODE]
<?php

if ($day == ‘Thursday’) {
if ($time == ‘0800’) {
if ($country == ‘UK’) {
$meal = ‘bacon and eggs’;
}
}
}

?>
[/CODE]

Man, I am loving PHP!

@chazzyFeb 13.2006 — its typical of any programming language. it just encapsulates your code -

if ( condition ){

//then do what's in here

}

else{

//do this

}

@codym43authorFeb 13.2006 — So, just like CSS:

<i>
</i>
#blah {
stuff
}
