What is the difference between PHP conditions else if and elseif ...

<?php

....

else if($count == 4) {}

and

elseif($count == 4) {}

Is there any special case to use one or not? Thanks!!

With curly braces, it makes no difference. When using a colon to define your conditions, 'else if' will fail due to parse error.
