[Resolved] if statement failing

[chucklarge]

hello,
I have a secure area setup with sessions. it works fine detirmining if a user is logged in. Now i am going back and modifying my code to handle different user levels that i have set up.

This piece of code is the problem, and no matter what user level, it is performing a redirect.

if( ($userlevel != 'Super Soldier') || ($userlevel != 'Admin') )
{	header("Location: [url]http://location[/url]");
	exit();
}

Does anything look wrong with this? I may be just tired and can't see the problem. User levels are displayed in comments below.

session_start();
$loggedin = isset($_SESSION['status']);

if($loggedin)
{	$username  = $_SESSION['username']; 
	$userlevel   = $_SESSION['userlevel'];
	// userlevels - Super Soldier, Admin, Moderator, undefined, User, Viewer
}
elseif(!$loggedin) 
{	// if session check fails, invoke error handler
	header("Location: [url]http://error[/url]");
	exit();
}

if( ($userlevel != 'Super Soldier') || ($userlevel != 'Admin') )
{	header("Location: [url]http://location[/url]");
	exit();
}

I know the header location links are not valid, this board kept screwing up the correct links.

Any idea what i am doing wrong?

if( ($userlevel != 'Super Soldier') || ($userlevel != 'Admin') )

This statement is always true in my opinion.

If $userlevel=='Super Soldier' ==> ($user !='Admin') is true
If $userlevel=='Admin' ==> $user !='Super Soldier' is true

ahh, you're correct. Thank you for catching my error. I knew I was too tired to be working on this.
