I'm guessing it's out of context.  It must be after an if block, and before
and else block:

if ($value) {
    print "some stuff is true";
}

elseif(!(preg_match("/^[A-Za-z0-9-]+$/",$uname))) {
    print "$uname is valid";
}

else {
    print "$uname is not valid";
}

-----------------------------

If is the "if", else is the "if not".  If there is "if" and multiple "ors",
then all but the last "or" is elseif.

"If a is red":
if ($a == "red"){
    print "you chose red";
}
else {
print "you did not choose red";
}

-------------------------------------

"If a is red, or blue, or green, or yellow":
if ($a == "red"){
    print "you chose red";
}

elseif ($a == "blue"){
    print "you chose blue";
}

elseif ($a == "green"){
    print "you chose green";
}

elseif ($a == "yellow"){
    print "you chose yellow";
}

else{
    print "you did not chose red, blue, green, or yellow";
}
