!= means not equal right? and == means equal?

I'm not good at PHP either.

What is the correct way to say this?

If the item is part1, part2, or the ebay fees are under 25, sig is 0, otherwise sig is 1.

I tried putting the brackets in different spots with no luck, sig keeps being declared as 0 even though the item is for part1 and the ebay fees are over 25.

Below is the most recent code I tried.

Code:

<?php if ($item->SKU != 'part1' || $item->SKU != 'part2' || $recipient->ebay_fees < '25'){ $sig='0';} else { $sig='1';} print $sig ?>

why are you using strings for ints like $recipient->ebay_fees < '25' dont use quotations because it is an integer not string. Same thing with the assignments.

php isnt stricly typed but just for purposes of practice

if (($item->SKU != 'part1' || $item->SKU != 'part2') || $recipient->ebay_fees < '25'){ $sig='0';} else { $sig='1';} should work

also actually the other poster is right != is not equal and == is equals so not sure if it was a typo in your explanation or just wrong coding

Doesn't seem to work, still makes sig 0.

if I echo $recipient->ebay_fees it shows a value of 27, thats the way I am pulling it.

I intentionally put does not equal !=

Basically sig should be 1 if any of those 3 criteria are met which 2 of 3 are.

**lezinterracial** · 11-25-2013, 04:33 PM

Now, I am no PHP expert but maybe it will make more sense, If you say what the criteria is as opposed to what it isn't

If I am hearing your right, it should be completely backwards.
if the item is 1 or the item is 2 or the fee < 25 sig 1, is that correct? If so.

if (($item->SKU == 'part1' || $item->SKU == 'part2') || $recipient->ebay_fees > '25'){ $sig='1';} else { $sig='0';}

Have you tried using 'Switch-Case' instead?..

http://php.net/manual/en/control-structures.switch.php

Example:

PHP Code:

<?php
switch($beer)
{
    case 'tuborg';
    case 'carlsberg';
    case 'heineken';
        echo 'Good choice';
    break;
    default;
        echo 'Please make a new selection...';
    break;
}
?>

PHP Code:

<?php $sig = ($item->SKU == 'part1' or $item->SKU == 'part2' or $recipient->ebay_fees < 25?0:1)

Thanks for all the suggestions, this one worked in declaring sig as 1 but if sig is not 1 then it does not declare sig as anything, it should be declared as 0 if not 1, i think I can do this myself though

I did the not equals because sometimes there are multiple items and this was my way of troubleshooting it

Got it all fixed, thanks again!
