Adding and OR statement

[thefonz22]

Simple question, I want to add an OR statement to the example below. I can't remember what the syntax is.

 

if($ref !== 'http://www.example.com/prestige/') { die("Hotlinking not permitted"); }

echo "Successful Login!";

 

 

Why wont this work? This is how I'm trying to do my OR statement with 2 URL's.

 

if($ref !== 'http://www.example.com/prestige/') || ($ref !== 'http://www.example2.com/prestige/') { die("Hotlinking not permitted"); }

echo "Successful Login!";

 

 

Please help! Thanks in advance.

If you use OR the test will fail - ie if one is good and one is bad, OR both are bad , it will produce fail

 

If you use AND then both conditions must be bad for it to produce fail

 

Soooo.

if($a !== $b AND $a !== $c) {then do something }else{do something else}

All the conditions should be wrapped inside the same set of parentheses:

if($ref !== 'http://www.example.com/prestige/' || $ref !== 'http://www.example2.com/prestige/') { die("Hotlinking not permitted"); }

HOWEVER, since you are negating both sides of the OR, this statement will ALWAYS evaluate to false. So, as litebearer suggested, you want to change to and AND:

if($ref !== 'http://www.example.com/prestige/' && $ref !== 'http://www.example2.com/prestige/') { die("Hotlinking not permitted"); }

Thanks! Worked a treat.
