or condition in an ifelse statement

[sharmilah]

Hi all

I want to specify an OR condition in an if statement. Can anyone please tell me how this can be done.
I've tried this but it does not work

[PHP]<? if (($add!=1) or (!empty($row["Bkg_Renewal_Dt"])))
{
echo '<tr>';
echo '<td class="hr">';echo htmlspecialchars("Renewal Date")."&nbsp;" ;echo '</td>';?>
<td class="dr"><input type="text" readonly name="Bkg_Renewal_Dt" value="<? echo str_replace('"', '&quot;', trim($row["Bkg_Renewal_Dt"])) ?>"><input type="button" value="Cal" onclick="displayCalendar(document.forms[0].Bkg_Renewal_Dt,'yyyy-mm-dd',this)">
<? echo '</td>';
echo '</tr>';
} ?>[/PHP]

Thanks

Replace the if part with this:

if (($add!=1)||(!empty($row["Bkg_Renewal_Dt"])))

**Note the character is a pipe character ||

Hope this helps

Alternatively, you can do this:

if (! (($add == 1) && empty($row['Bkg_Renewal_Dt'])))

if you want to save a CPU cycle or two (note also single quotes around 'Bkg_Renewal_Dt').

Also, if empty($row['Bkg_Renewal_Dt']) is more likely to occur, it should come before ($add == 1) in the conditional to encourage short-circuits.

Hi

Is there something wrong with the code below. I've tried the solution you proposed but it is not working. If the variable $add is not equal to one and the renewal date contains a value then only should the textbox for the renewal date be displayed otherwise if add==1 or if the renewal date does not contain any value the textbox to edit the renewal date should not be displayed


[PHP]
some other codes
</tr>
if (! (($add == 1) && (empty($row['Bkg_Renewal_Dt'])))) //if not adding and if renewal date is not empty display renewal dt else not
{ ?>
<tr>
<td class="hr"><? echo htmlspecialchars('Renewal Date')."&nbsp;" ?></td>
<td class="dr"><input type="text" readonly name="Bkg_Renewal_Dt" value="<? echo str_replace('"', '&quot;', trim($row['Bkg_Renewal_Dt'])) ?>"><input type="button" value="Cal" onclick="displayCalendar(document.forms[0].Bkg_Renewal_Dt,'yyyy-mm-dd',this)">
</td>
</tr>
<? } ?>
<tr>
some other codes
[/PHP]

Thanks for your help

Thanks for your help

I noticed that you separated some parts of the codes...

Can you put all your codes inside the php tag like this:
<?php
codes....



?>

Please don't forget to echo some html tags over there....

Please write your programs in a structured manner so that you can see what line causes the error....

If there are still errors please post the error...
