if statement help

[Anon]

i need to write an if else statement example:
if ($user And $Add == 1){
header ('Location: name.php);

} elseif ($user and $Add == 2){
header ('Location: Article.php);

} else {
header ('Location: view.php);
}

Is this possible? Or How do i go about doing this? I need to compare the two $varible to 1 and 2..

thanks

if ($user)
{
switch ($add)
{
case 1: $header="name.php";break;
case 2: $header="article.php";break;
default: $header="view.php";
}
header("Location: $header");
}

Although the original code is perfectly valid, apart from what I presume was an accidental dropping of "'" in each of the header lines.

Yes, you can use "and" and "or" instead of "&&" and "||".

i tried doing it with just by adding && but it refreshes to the last else header..

ex.
if ($user && $data == "1"){

header ('Location:name.php');

} elseif ($user && $data== "2"){

header ('Location:article.php');

} else {

header ('Location:add.php');
}

i don't know why this if statement doesn't work properley.. it connects to the database looks for if the user is 1,2, if it's not 1 or it goes to the default. but it seems like it's not looking at the first two if statement it just goes to the default..

You mean you want to check if the $user is 1 and $data is 1, or if $user is 2 and $data is 2? That's different - as it is you're just looking to see if $user is nonempty/nonzero.

Is this more what you mean?

if ($user==1 && $data == "1"){

header ('Location:name.php');

} elseif ($user==2 && $data== "2"){

header ('Location:article.php');

} else {

header ('Location:add.php');
}

As before, "&&" or "and" work equally well here.
