I'm more referring to the fact that you can just "return" from a function thereby not needing the "else" part because your program will never get there if it "returns" prior.

e.g.

Code:

private void x()
{
 a();
 b();
 return;
 c();
}

gives a "Error, unreachable statement" at "c()" in java at least, im not sure if php supports it but i think it would from what i've seen.

i usually prefer the "long way" you're referring to as well and the way i'm suggesting would make it a little weird to read for debugging but i think it saves heaps of time, for me at least.
