{ and } not properly aligned in tom and vineesh's codes. It should be like

Code:
if (CONDITION) {
    // do some thing if true
} else {
   // do another thing
}
It is OK, just coding style, it is better to follow proper coding style from the beginning.

Variable names are perfect.

Updated code for

Code:
<?php

$rain = 'eeeee';

if ($rain == 'yes') {
    echo 'It will rain today.'; 
} else if ($rain == 'no') {
    echo 'It will not rain today.'; 
} else {
    echo 'huh...what is this ?';
}
