Multiple choice if statement

[LordShryku]

Just not really sure if this code is correct. Can someone let me know?

I have five "status" events in a form. Based upon that, I want to do something. Does it work by using:

if($submit) && ($status == "Open") or ($status == "InProcess") or ($status =="Closed)) {

Just not real sure about how to word this...

Thanks!

If you are not sure, use paranteses. They never hurt 🙂

if($submit) &&
(($status == "Open") or
($status == "InProcess") or
($status =="Closed))
) {

you could do:

 
if($submit){
 switch($status)
  {case 'Open':
             while($status=='open'){do this stuff;}
    break;
    case 'InProcess':
            do{these_things}while($status==InProcess);
    break;
    case 'Closed':
            if($status=='Closed'){this_is_what_happens;}
    }
}
