Plug-in syntax help

I'm trying to create a nice little plug-in to annoy my forum users (I'm so kind, right?).
Anyway: I am having a little trouble with the code.

PHP Code:


		
			
if(($user['userid'] != 1) || ($user['userid'] != 2)) {

$user['musername'] = $vbulletin->usergroupcache["$displaygroupid"]['opentag'] . str_shuffle($username) . 

$vbulletin->usergroupcache["$displaygroupid"]['closetag'];

}

Basically I want to omit user ID 1 AND 2 from the str_shuffle. So basically ID 3 and onwards gets a shuffled username, whereas IDs 1 and 2 don't.

I am going wrong here:

PHP Code:


		
			
if(($user['userid'] != 1) || ($user['userid'] != 2))

I just can't get the syntax right to omit both.

It would help if you would tell us the plugin location because maybe you are using the wrong variable? Anyway, try this:

PHP Code:


		
			
if (!in_array($user['userid'], array(1,2))

Use of an array is preferred, but to help you with your original logic:

if userid !=1 and userid != 2

using or means it would always be true

Both methods work fine.
I was using the fetch_musername hook.

Thanks to both of you.

Just a word of caution.... watch it when switching usernames around because PMs may be sent to the wrong person. I switched some around a long time ago as an April Fool's joke and things got a bit messed up there. So, be sure to test this out on your test site and make sure it is working how you want it to in regards to profiles/PMs.

I don't think anything on vbulletin uses the markup username does it? I thought it was just for display purposes?
Changing $user['username'] or $username would be stupid indeed. I didn't think markup usernames had anything relying on it in terms of PMs etc..

You know, it was four years ago that I did this, so I don't remember the particulars. But I do remember the screwed up PMs. Like I said, test it and see what happens.

PMs and Profiles work fine.

I appreciate the heads up though - thanks Lynne.
