if something equals something or something else do this

**keyboard** · 08-05-2011, 10:17 PM

Hello everyone,

I have a section of code which looks something like this,

PHP Code:


if  ("$usercheck == george")

{

    echo 'Hello';



}

I would like to change it so that if $usercheck == george or fred or bob

than it would say hi.
So they could be george and it would say hi or they could be fred and it would say hi or they could be bob and it would say hi.
Any help?

Operators don't work if they're written within a string.

So $usercheck == "george" would work, but "$usercheck == george" will not.

PHP Code:


[B]if  ($usercheck == "george")
{
    echo 'Hello';

}

What's the [b] for?

Code:

<?php
$t='fred';
if ($t=='fred'||$t =='george')echo"hi<br>";
$t="george";
if ($t=='fred'||$t =='george')echo"hi<br>";
$t="bob";
if ($t=='fred'||$t =='george')echo"hi<br>";
if ($t=='fred' or $t =='george' or $t=='bob')echo"hi<br>";
?>
