PHP - Nested IF statements [closed]

Answer 1

Nesting too deeply is generally a bad idea - it's spaghetti logic and difficult to follow. Since each of your verification steps depends on the previous stage having succeeded, don't nest at all - just bail out when a stage fails:

function change_password(blah blah blah) {
   if (!$condition1) {
      return false;
   }
   if (!$condition2) {
      return false;
   }
   etc....


   // got here, must have succeeded
   return true;
}

That makes it explicitly clear what the logic sequence is.
