   Hi. I am very new to PHP coding in general and hope someone can answer this query.

   Let's say I have this if/else statement running on my WordPress theme that displays specific texts when certain conditions are fulfilled:

   <?php {
   	if (condition) {
   		echo "sample text";
   	} else if (second condition) {
   		echo "sample text 2";
   	} else if (third condition) {
   		echo "sample text 3";
   	} else {
   		echo "sample text 4";
   	}
   } ?>

   The conditions are is_page(), is_home(), is_single() etc. Does this cause heavy load on the server? Thanks.

   If it does we are all screwed. :)

   Sure, an if statement is more load than having no statement, but in most cases you are measuring in thousandths, tens of thousandths, or better of a second. And why use a scripting language like PHP if you aren't going to script stuff?

   That makes sense. It's good news for me. Thanks :)
