if/else type problem

[Anon]

Inside my 'header.inc' file there is a if/else statement:

if(($PHP_SELF != "/view_cart.php") || ($PHP_SELF != "/checkout.php") || ($PHP_SELF != "/checkout_complete.php")) {
include("cart_contents.inc");
}

Basicially I want to include the 'cart_contents.inc' on all pages except the three above. However, the above statement includes the 'cart_contents.inc' on all pages. If I have just:

if(($PHP_SELF != "/view_cart.php") {
include("cart_contents.inc");
}

it works fine on the 'view_cart.php' page... anyone shed some light on this?

thanks,

You are saying "if it is not page A, or not page B, or not page C, include..., which means it will include as long as the page is not somehow equal to all three pages.

Insead of "||" (OR) use "&&" (AND).

Like:

if(($PHP_SELF != "/view_cart.php") && ($PHP_SELF != "/checkout.php") && ($PHP_SELF != "/checkout_complete.php")) {
include("cart_contents.inc");
}

This says if it is not equal to A, and not equal to B, and not equal to C, include...

Thanks for your help. Stupid mistake. I guess it's my fault for trying to concentrate and work with this flue.
