[SOLVED] Is there no way of doing IF ( a==b OR c==d)?

[sina]

I'm really new to PHP, just trying to develop a pretty simple app.

 

For example, I have

 

IF ((isset($_POST['submit']))&&(($_POST['zipd'])!=""))

        {}

 

But I Want to add another condition that would trigger the same IF section. But is there an easy way to do that in php?

I'm not 100% sure what you're asking but I assume you are asking how to structure if statements? If so all you need to do is place your parentheses properly.

 

Example:

if ( ($condition1 || $condition2) && ($condition3 || $condition4) )

You can do this:

 

if (
  (isset($_POST['submit']) && $_POST['zipd']!="")
  || $something_else)
         {}

 

The new lines are not necessary, I just added them for clarity.  I also removed some unnecessary brackets.  PHP knows that && and || should always seperate comparisons.

Got it. Learning a new language is just confusing me. Makes perfect sense, don't know why I didn't recognize that && before. Thanks a million!

if you have tons to be condition use in_array

 

$array=array('a','c',......etc);

if (in_array('a',$array))

{

//do something

}

 

something like that
