Is it recommended to include an else statement when using conditional statements in PHP?

It is not always necessary to include an else statement when using conditional statements in PHP. If you only need to execute code when a certain condition is met and do not require an alternative action for when the condition is false, you can omit the else statement. However, if you do want to specify an action for when the condition is false, then including an else statement is recommended. 

// Example of using an if-else statement
$number = 10;

if ($number > 5) {
    echo "Number is greater than 5";
} else {
    echo "Number is not greater than 5";
}
