php andif statement, fall through

With the risk to blame myself to the bones, I still ask the question: Is there anything like "andif" in php or how could I solve the below in an elegant way?

Scenario: First test, if true, do some processing (e.g. contact server), then have a second test, do something ... have third test, and then do the result or -- if any of the above fail -- always output the same failure.

Instead of repeating the else statement every time ...

if ( ....) { 
        contact server ...
        if (  ...  ){
        check ...       
            if (  ... )   {
                success  ;
            } else {  failure ...       }
        } else {  failure ...       }
} else {  failure ...       }

.. I look for something like that:

if ( ...) {
   do something...
   andif ( test ) {
      do something more ...
      andif ( test) {
         do }
else { 
   collective error }

In a function I can use a 'fall through' simulation with return in case of success:

function xx {
 if {... if {... if {...  success; return; }}}
 failure
}

.. but in the main program?
