advanced if statement

[[deleted]]

Hello i am trying the folowing if statement:

IF $a or $b EQUALS TO x OR y ->set 2 newvariables
ELSE IF $a or $b EQUAL TO z : set the 2 on something else.
ELSE set the two newvariables on a third something

i tried many ways, not going to post them all, but eventually none of them worked.

Anyone?

How about:

if ( ($a eq 'x') or ($b eq 'x') or ($a eq 'y') or ($b eq 'y'))
  {
   set $TwoVariables; 
  }
  else
  {   

    if ( ($a eq 'z') or ($b eq 'z')) 
     {}
    else
      {}
  }

leatherback types faster than i do 😃 , but since i typed it and it varies slightly, i'm putting it up:

if (($a == "x") | ($b == "x") | ($a == "y") | ($b == "y")) {
set 2 new variables code goes here
}
else {
if (($a == "z") | ($b == "z")) {
set 2 new variables to something else code goes here
}
else {
set 2 to 3rd option code goes here
}
}

hmm the long way i gues...

BUT

 
	if (($row["regent_primclass"] == Druid) || ($row["regent_primclass"] == Cleric) || ($row["regent_secclass"] == Druid) || ($row["regent_secclass"] == Cleric))
	{
	$no1 = "no_";
	$no2 = "";
	}
	else
	{
		if (($row["regent_primclass"] != Wizard)|| ($row["regent_secclass"] != Wizard))
		{
		$no1 = "no_";
		$no2 = "no_";
		}
		else
		{
			if (($row["regent_primclass"] == Wizard)|| ($row["regent_secclass"] == Wizard))
			{
			$no1 = "";
			$no2 = "";
			}
		}
	}

still sets the $no1 and $no2 to "no_" when the primclass or secclass is wizard.....

(and isnt there a shorter way to write this up?)

Why are you people nesting? Why not use an elseif like his pseudocode suggests?

if(($a == 'x') || ($a == 'y')  || ($b == 'x') || ($b == 'y')) {

// Set the first 2 variables

} elseif($a == 'z' || $b == 'z') {

// Set the second variables

} else {

// Set the third variables

}
