What is wrong with this?

[jamesm87]

Why does this not work?

if($forum_id != '42' or $forum_id != '43' or $forum_id != '44' or $forum_id != '45' or $forum_id != '46' or $forum_id != '47' or $forum_id != '48' or $forum_id != '49')

thanks

have you tried using || instead of or

if($forum_id != '42' || $forum_id != '43' || $forum_id != '44' || $forum_id != '45' || $forum_id != '46' || $forum_id != '47' || $forum_id != '48' || $forum_id != '49')

[jamesm87]

still does not work

Maybe the ' effects it... ill go and look

thanks anway!

[jamesm87]

nope same problem

[cassius]

if($forum_id != '42' 
	|| $forum_id != '43' 
	|| $forum_id != '44' 
	|| $forum_id != '45' 
	|| $forum_id != '46' 
	|| $forum_id != '47' 
	|| $forum_id != '48' 
	|| $forum_id != '49')

Couldn't this be written like this(if it fits your purpose??):

if($forum_id < '42' && $forum_id > '49')

Thë ãbøvë fûnctîøn wîll ãllwãys bë trûë!

Ïnstëãd dø lîkë thîs:

if ($forum_id!='42' && $forum_id!='43' && etc)
{
     //if forumid isn't 42 or 43 or etc you end up here eg forum_id = 5
}
else
{
     //if forumid _is_ 42 or it _is_ 43 or it _is_ etc you end up here eg forumid=42
}
