is there a possibility to write a shorthand if, ELSE IF, else statement for php.
if / else is clear but is there a shorthanded way when i want to use elseif too (except switch)?
if ($typeArray == 'date'){
echo 'date';
} else if($typeArray == 'time'){
echo 'time';
} else {
echo 'text';
}
Haven't found any good answer else, where there is a shorthand version for nested if statements including an elseif.

Ternary operator logic is the process of using "(condition) ? (true return value) : (false return value)" statements to shorten your if/else structures.
In PHP we have the following conditional statements: if statement - executes some code if one condition is true. if...else statement - executes some code if a condition is true and another code if that condition is false.
Else (Ternary Operator) There is also a short-hand if else, which is known as the ternary operator because it consists of three operands. It can be used to replace multiple lines of code with a single line.
PHP allows you to choose what action to take based on the result of a condition. This condition can be anything you choose, and you can combine conditions to make actions that are more complicated.
You're looking for ternary statements.
Syntax:
$condition ? $value_if_true : $value_if_false
Syntax for nested ternary statements:
$a ? $b : ( $c ? $d : ( $e ? $f : $g ) )
Just a warning, nested ternary statements are hard to read, so it's recommended to unnested ternary statements.

You can see this Ternary operator. Good when you have an if/else, but bad readability if you do more.
Alternative syntax. This syntax is useful when you use html/php in the same code. It helps us to see the end of if/foreach/while...
switch/case. The best is probably to post some code to see if it could be shortened.
