Quick PHP Question.

[Jdoughs]

I've got a check to see if it's a certain producttype (dog), and if so, something fits. Question is, can I have it be 'dog' and 'cat' and still have it as a line and not going into a if/else?

<-- Total noob, just learning.

Thanks in advance and Happy New Year.

<?php if($this->product->productType == 'dog') { ?>        ruff ruff ruff            <?php } ?>

<?php if($this->product->productType == 'dog') { ?>		ruff ruff ruff			<?php } ?>

Sorry, but I havent understood ur question.
I have a lousy english.
But you have a variable set to be "dog" how can it be "dog" and "cat" at the same time?

<?php if($this->product->productType == 'dog' or $this->product->productType == 'cat') { ?>

Yes that is what I meant "OR".

If it is dog or cat. (could be both) I guess, bowls, toys, I don't know

THANKS!

if( item==dog or item==cat ){ do stuff }

[cooldude7]

if( item==dog or item==cat ){ do stuff }

I'd start by seperating your scripting layer from you presentation layer.

Perhaps using a ''switch" could help you as well.

$var = 'dog';

switch( $var ){
case 'dog':
echo "woef woef";
break;

case 'cat':
echo "miauw";
break;

default:
echo "no cat or dog found";

}

wtf ? am I missing something here

if($this->product->productType == "dog" || $this->product->productType == "cat") { }

the two pipes between them means "OR".

|| = OR
&& = AND

I mean I wouldnt do it that way but that answer your question about and and or.

Check PHP.net its full of examples

This is the correct way unless you are comparing more than a few product types (Cat, Dog, Horse, Pig) If so, use the switch statement.
