Problem with multiple conditions in an IF statement

[skyer2000]

I have the following code and cannot figure out why the second check doesn't perform, any ideas?

 

if($stuff != 'foo1' || $stuff != 'foo2') {
echo "oh hey";
} else {
echo "hi";
}

try:

if ( ($stuff != 'foo1') || ( strcmp($stuff, 'foo2') != 0 )
{
   echo "oh hey";
} else {
   echo "hi";
}

What do you mean it doesn't perform? If it matches on the first one it doesn't need to check the second.

What is the value of $stuff?

Yeah your original does work (I'm just a sticker for brackets, nice and clear)
