two conditions in if statement with php

Question

Hi

is that possible to do that?

<?php if($limit != "0" && $num_down < $limit || $limit == "0") {

//stuff

}
?>

i need to check if limit equals to 0 or if it is not, if $num_down is under limit.

Thank you

Answer 1

Don't make it any more complicated than necessary:

if ($limit == 0 || $num_down < $limit) {
    ...
}

This works because the logical or (||) evaluates to true if either or both of its arguments evaluate to true.

Answer 2

if( ($limit != 0 && $num_down < $limit) || $limit == 0 )
{
  whateves();
}

You can do it this way if you want to evaluate the first condition before the second. You can also use another if branch.
