Using AND and OR in an if statement

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jun 23.2006

Within the confines of a SINGLE if statement….is it possible for me to do this?

[code=php]If ($user != ‘owner’ AND $userType != ‘moderator’ OR $userLevel != ‘admin’)
{ do the stuff in here }[/code]

In laymans terms that is saying if the person viewing the page is NOT the owner but they are a moderator or admin, display the page, if the person is the owner, display the page no matter what, if the person is not the owner and not a moderator or admin, do not display the page.

If the way I have my OR and AND thingies arranged is not right, what modifications do I need to make?

@NogDogJun 23.2006 — You might be over-thinking this. You could just do:
[code=php]
if ($user == 'owner' or $userType == 'moderator' or $userLevel == 'admin')
{
// display the page
}
else
{
// do not display the page
}
[/code]

@themartyJun 24.2006 — to be explicit about what belongs together when giving multiple arguments to an if, use these: [b]( )[/b]

In your case:
[code=php]If ( ($user != 'owner') AND ($userType != 'moderator' OR $userLevel != 'admin') )[/code]
Although this won't yield the result you want. NogDog has already given the solution to that though

Success!
