Many questions in an IF.

[Anon]

Ok, the scenario looks like this. If all three matches the XXX,YYY,ZZZ then a big chunk of code will be started.

if ($startett[0]=="XXX" && $startett[1]=="YYY" && $start[3]=="ZZZ") {
alot of code here... }

But I want the same big chunk of code should start when $startett[0] is WWW, and not XXX and if $startett[0] is WWW I want the three next line to be runed but NOT when $startett[0] is = "XXX".

if ($startett[0]=="WWW") {
$cbborta = strpos ($description, "hello");
$cbaway = substr ("$description", $cbborta);
$start = split ("\n", $cbaway);
alot of the same code here....}

Any suggestions who this could be solved?

Thanks.

How about adding this to your if statement at the end for your first question:

if (($startett[0]=="XXX" && $startett[1]=="YYY" && $start[3]=="ZZZ")or ($startett[0]=="WWW" && $startett !="XXX"))

Oh, and maybe try a nested IF inside your IF for the three lines of code that you want to run, something like this:

if (($startett[0]== "WWW") && ($startett[0] != "XXX" )) {
$cbborta = strpos ($description, "hello");
$cbaway = substr ("$description", $cbborta);
$start = split ("\n", $cbaway);

Thanks, a little combination of both your suggestion made the trick 🙂

Glad to see that it's working, but I just want to caution that when code sometimes becomes extremely convoluted as such, it may be a good idea to consider using a switch.
