If statments, how do I print out result to prove it is working

[aa720]

<? if ($test != "AM" || $test != "NZ") { }?>

I believe this statment swaps AM for NZ
How would I print out this result on the screen

no it doesn't - the code:
<? if ($test != "AM" || $test != "NZ") { }?>

is a conditional, and would execute only if $test did not equal either 'AM' or 'NZ'.

If you just want to swam AM for NZ:

if ($test=='AM') {
$test='NZ';  //the swap
echo $test; //prints the value 'NZ' to the screen
}
