Not quite like that, but yes you can use it with the correct syntax.

 

<?php

if($tag=='home' || $tag=='about' || $tag=='contact') {

    // DO SOMETHING

} else {

    // DO SOMETHING ELSE

}

?>

No, for at least two reasons.

 

First, you have double-quotes around "home || about || contact". That is checking if $tag is equal to the string 'home || about || contact'

 

Secondly, without the quotes, you would be or'ing home with about and then or'ing that with contact and that as a logic expression is equal to TRUE. So you would be checking if $tag is a TRUE value and that would be true for a lot of different values.

 

Computers don't apply the distributive property to what you write. You must explicitly write out the logic test that you want or find a different method.

 

Since you are testing if something is any one of a list of values, it would be easier to put those values into an array and use the in_array function.

Also, this code fragment is not a full statement, there is no closing semicolon at all.
