php - Else If block and curly brackets -


knowing in php ignore curly brackets in conditional blocks 1 function / line after "if", "else if" or "else" tag, : 

if (myval == "1")   dothis(); else if (myval == "2")   dothat(); else   donothing();

i asking myself if :

 if (myval == "1")   dothis(); else    if (myval2 == true)     dothat();   else     donothing();

was seen php either : 

if (myval == "1") { dothis(); } else  {   if (myval2 == true)     { dothat(); }   else      { donothing(); } }

or : 

if (myval == "1")   { dothis(); } else if(myval2 == true)   { dothat(); } else    { donothing(); }

short version : "line break" after 1 else enough separate 1 "if" statement or seen 1 "else if"

editing own question confirmation guess : 

if(false)   echo "1"; else    if (false)     echo "2"; else   echo "3";

is displaying "3" while following throwing error because 2 else statement found :

if(false)   echo "1"; else    if (false)     echo "2";   else     echo "4"; else   echo "3";

so break line doesn't seems make difference, thing matters "if" , "else" count.

without curly brackets php treat next line block of code execute.

if (myval == "1")     dothis(); else      if (myval2 == true)     dothat();     else     donothing();

if myval "1" dothis(); next line , picked block of code execute. if there more code there:

if (myval == "1")     dothis();     dothistoo();

it still execute dothis() part of if statement, whilst dothistoo() always executed.

if myval != "1" picks first block in else condition , executes that. in case if statement needs evaluated:

if (myval2 == true)

this logic continues: identify next block of code execute either taking next line or next block identified wrapping of curly braces.

Java sticky instances of class com.mysql.jdbc.Field aggregating -

i noticed (via jmap+jhat) app leaking storing many instances com.mysql.jdbc.field  class - double checked code make sure closing preparedstatements, find few missing didn't change outcome. - preparedstatement created , closed right away - several others created @ start , reused many times - using org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.datasource connection pool what can cause type of behavior? are closing of preparedstatements / result sets using: preparedstatement stmt (possible assignment here); try { // work prepared statement resultset rs; try { while (rs.next()) ... // process results } { rs.close(); } } { stmt.close(); } so guarantee result sets closed when finished (regardless of exceptions) , statements closed (regardless of exceptions)? there other ways write that, idea same. if you're doing of properly, unless have many references it's taking inordinate amount of memory, it's ok , nothing needs done it.
