Since PHP is an interpreted language the code is processed from top to bottom as it is executed. So if you have an example:

 if ($x == "something) {
    // do something
} elseif ($x == "something else") {
    // do something different
} else {
   // catch all match
}

As the code is executed to will evaluate against the first "if", then the "elseif", and if nothing matches it falls into the "else" category.

Does this help?

HI Damian it does kind of but I was after a flow chart of the process.

Just so I can get my slow brain around in fully.
