If (blah OR blah) problem

[axsdeny]

so I've got a situation where I don't know how to make the syntax of an if statement work. It may be that I don't get how the OR operator works.

The PHP looks like this.. scaled back for size sake...

if((strcmp($type,'staff')==0) || (strcmp($type,'dept')==0)){
       echo 'some stuff....';
}
