Help with AND / && ???

[Breach]

I am working on a small script. (My first)

Here is where I run into a problem..

  } elseif ($hours >= 24) {
      echo "Only $days more day";
  } elseif ($hours >= 48) {
      echo "Only $days more days";

As you can see.. if $hours >= 24 it echos "Only $days more day" so it can't make it to the next line because in order for >= 48 to be true, then >= 24 has to be true, and in such case it catches on 24 and never makes it to 48.

What I need is something like..

  } elseif ($hours >= 24) AND ($hours < 48) {
      echo "Only $days more day";
  } elseif ($hours >= 48) {
      echo "Only $days more days";

So that in order for the first part to be True the hours must be 24 or above, but must also be under 48. If it's 48 or over, it will echo the second part instead.

But, if I use "AND" or "&&" I get an error...

"Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_BOOLEAN_AND in /home/breach/public_html/test.php on line 26"

Any ideas? Any ways around this?

missing parentheses:

elseif (($hours >= 24) AND ($hours < 48))
or just
elseif ($hours >= 24 AND $hours < 48)
- this shold work too (not with && , as i know).

or you can do this way:

} elseif ($hours >= 48) { ...
} elseif ($hours >=24) { ... }

That seems to have worked! Thanx Igel.. 🙂

I was unhappy with the PHP countdown scripts available so I learned to make my own.

It works well and looks good.

If there is less then one hour it says "Countdown Expired"
If there is one hour it says "1 Hour Until $event"
If there are more then one hour it says "2 Hours Until $event"
If there are 24 hours it says "1 Day Until $event"
If there are 48 or more hours it says "2 Days Until $event"
Anything else echos an "Error: Inform Webmaster!"

Without that extra set of brackets I would have never finished it.. Thanx.

Still you'd better use the descending check order, then you will need to do less comparisons and the code will be easier to read.
