Confused Newbie

Greetings,

I'm quite new to php, or should I say, I'm quite new to programming. My question is with the following code:

if ($a != $b) {
exit;
}
elseif ($a != $c) {
exit;

}
else {
continue
}

I "know" there is a shorter way to write this, and to be honest I must have tried every possible way there is so far. Well, except the right way.

Here are a couple of my attempts that I thought should have worked:

if ($a != $b || $c) {
exit:
else {
continue
}

but it didn't, so I tried:

if ($a != $b || $a != $c) {
exit:
else {
continue
}

But that didn't work either.

Could someone help me out.

<?
if ($a != $b || $a != $c) { 
	exit; // exit is exit, else is not neccessary 
}
// here continue
?>

encapsulate the expressions to be checked

if (($a != $b) ||( $a != $c)) {
exit;
}else {
continue
}
