I'm trying to get an if statement to test a php session and if it's true, show html and if it's not, don't show html. I did some research and found this

<?
$a = 2; 
 if ($a == 2): ?>
  <p>Content</p>
<? elseif ($a == 3): ?>
  <p>Other Content</p>
<? else: ?>
  <p>Default Content</p>
<? endif; ?>

but when i run it, every condition seems to be met as it outputs everything, does anyone know why? thanks

Seems to work just fine? https://3v4l.org/EtDqA as expected - if it isn't your `short_open_tags` are off – Qirel Feb 11 '17 at 20:28
