Bug description:  else if (...): unexpected T_IF, expecting ':'

Description:
------------
PHP documentation claims:

"In PHP, you can also write 'else if' (in two words) and the behavior
would be identical to the one of 'elseif' (in a single word). The syntactic
meaning is slightly different (if you're familiar with C, this is the same
behavior) but the bottom line is that both would result in exactly the same
behavior." - http://php.net/elseif

However I get the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF, expecting ':' in
/home/jablko/public_html/test.php on line 3

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php if (false): ?>
  AAA
<?php else if (true): ?>
  BBB
<?php else: ?>
  CCC
<?php endif; ?>


Expected result:
----------------
BBB

Actual result:
--------------
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF, expecting ':' in
/home/jablko/public_html/test.php on line 3
