If Statement Syntax for Multiple conditions

[Skipjackrick]

Is it possible to do something like I have below?

 

Basically I've got several conditions that need to be true for an if statement.

 

     
<?php
$condition1=1;
$condition2=1;
$condition3=1;
$condition4=0;

if ( $condition1 == 1 && $condition2 == 1  && $condition3 == 1 && $condition4 == 1) 
      {
      //Update kayak man points
      $count_kmpoints = "UPDATE anglers 
            SET kayakman_points = kayakman_points + 1
            WHERE anglerId=$angler";
      $counted_kmpoints = mysql_query($count_kmpoints) or exit(mysql_error());

      } else {
      echo "Sorry, you haven't met the criteria to score any Kayak Man points";
      }
?>

Yep, that's exactly how you structure it.

 

You can also separate them which can get messy:

 

if($condition1 == 1){

  if($condition2 == 1){
   //etc etc
}

}

 

Or you could place it into a function which would be more manageable but possibly unecessary in this instance:

 

function isValid($conditions){

foreach($conditions as $condition){
  if($condition != 1){
    return false;
  } 
}

  return true;

}

// USAGE:

$c['condition1'] = 1;
$c['condition2'] = 1;
$c['condition3'] = 1;
$c['condition4'] = 0;

if(isValid($c)){
// they are all valid
}

 

Basically, that means you can quickly run through a whole host of conditions without ever having to use anything other than the isValid() line. You could go a step further an add the ability to specify if any conditions can be false, or what certain conditions should return etc. etc.

Ah yeah!!

 

Thanks!

 

I like that foreach method..... seems a bit easier to work with many different combinations of conditions.
