How to code "or" in an IF statement?

Anon

I am having a hard time finding documentation on how to code "or" in an IF statement. For example, I know how to code AND:

if (isset($val1) && isset($val2)) {

do something

} else { do something else }

But how to do I code "or":

if (isset($val1) OR isset($val2)) { ....

Thanks for the help.

The OR statment is ||

if (isset($val1) || isset($val2)) {
do something
}
else {
do something else
}

Hope this helps.

but the keyword OR works too, so your second example, Vinnie, is correct (and it's easier to read)

Thank you. Its the answer i was looking for.

I know you already got the answer, but don't you think this would be described in the manual? www.php.net or the DOCS section right here.

I attempted to go to php.net, but i'm having a helluva time getting a good response from that website.

I attempted to search here also, but I was not sure what keyword would bring me the right results (try searching for "IF Statements" and you get a LOT back 😉

Technically, your searching for an operator, not anything to do with an if statement.

Search for the Or operator. See what you get.
