Parse error in if... with &amp;&amp;

Parse error in if... with &&

Hi all,
I'm not quite a newbie in PHP, but I have a feeling this question is, so here we go.

I have a script that uses an if statement with multiple options. Looks like this:

if ($suma - sumb => 1 && $suma-sumb <= 149)
{
code
}

Everytime I reach this part of the script I end up with a parse error in that line.
I also tried the following variant:

if (($suma - sumb) => 1 && ($suma-sumb <= 149))
{
code
}

Is there a very special way PHP wants a && in an if statement?

Thanks in advance,
Azmir

don't beat yourself up too badly over this but...

if ($suma - $sumb => 1 && $suma-$sumb <= 149) 
{ 
code 
}

sumb is a variable so it needs to be $sumb 🙂

No the problem is not with the missing $. That was just a typo from me. The real code of course looks like this:

if ($suma - $sumb => 1 && $suma-$sumb <= 149)
{
code
}

But thanks for the notice anyway,
Azmir

is this supposed to mean: if $suma - $sumb is between 1 and 149?

if so, the greater than operator should be >=, not =>
(though the symmetry looks nice the way you put it)

Hi again,
Yes the diff between $suma and $sumb is supposed to be between 1 and 149. So what you say is that it should look like this:

if ($suma - $sumb >= 1 && $suma - $sumb =< 149)
{
code
}

Correctly assumed?

BR,
Azmir

<= was okay
if ($suma - $sumb >= 1 && $suma - $sumb <= 149)
