|| == logical "or"
&& == logical "and"

logical operators
all operators

You can use and and or instead of && and || respectively

Note that there is a difference in precedence between these methods, though. 99.9% or so of the time it doesn't matter, but there are some situations where it can (see http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.php#language.operators.precedence).
