Stuck on a multiple condition statement

[john2020]

Folks,

 

I am trying to learn PHP and  I have spent the morning trying to sort out something seemingly simple  but it is not working for me.

 

I want to write a statement which says: if session variable "one" is empty or if session variable "two" is not equal to "svValue" then do this:

 

if ((empty ($_SESSION["One"])) || if ($_SESSION["Two"] != "svValue ) {

do this;

}

 

Could you point out the mistake(s) in my syntax?

 

Thanks!

John

if( empty($_SESSION["One"]) || ($_SESSION["Two"] != "svValue ) ) {
do this;
}

 

not tested

Thank you!  Just to clarify, shouldn't the double quotes be closed after svValue? In my original question I made a typo and didn't close the quotes.

 

So would this be correct (just closed the quotes)?

 

if( empty($_SESSION["One"]) || ($_SESSION["Two"] != "svValue" ) ) {
do this;
}

[Rifts]

yeah you are correct, my bad typo

Thank you for your help.  You got the typo form my original.

Thank you for your help.  You got the typo form my original.

 

Just an FYI, there are a few more values that will qualify as 'empty'.  From the manual (empty):

 

The following things are considered to be empty:

 

    * "" (an empty string)

    * 0 (0 as an integer)

    * "0" (0 as a string)

    * NULL

    * FALSE

    * array() (an empty array)

    * var $var; (a variable declared, but without a value in a class)
