AND within IF statement

[geraldjr30]

hi,

i have the following:

if(!isset($_POST['submit'])  AND ($_POST['fac'] ="ALL")))
 

but i think the syntax is wrong. could someone help?

thanks in advance,

I always use && and syntax as follows:

function aFunction($a)
{
  return false;
}
 
function bFunction($b)
{
  return true;
}
 
if( !aFunction($a) && bFunction($b) )
{
  echo("Condition met.");
} else {
  echo("Condition failed.");
}

So i guess in your case it would be something like:

if( !isset($_POST['submit']) && $_POST['fac'] == "ALL" )

You were using = instead of ==

Cheers

Remember '=' is an assignment operator and '==' is a comparison operator.

Also '===' is a comparison operator which checks for the type of the variable, too.

You simply have one too many closing brackets.

Even tho this doesn't matter in this case, it is worth noting that even tho the AND and && operators seem work the same, && has a higher precedence, so exchanging them may actually change the result of an expression.
(See PHP: Operator Precedence)

For example:

$var = true && false; // $var == false
$var = true and false; // $var == true
