Multiple Parameters for Conditionals

[inthezone]

I am writing a basic PHP conditional script that uses vBulletin's global.php to display different messages for different user levels. I want to have the same message display for those who have userlevels 1 and 3. I know how to write it with elseif syntax, like:

PHP Code:

if ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid']==1)
{
echo "You are not logged in, or you have not confirmed your e-mail address.";
}
elseif ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid']==3) 
{
echo "You are not logged in, or you have not confirmed your e-mail address.";
} 


is there a way to combine the two statements to eliminate the redundancy in that code, so that it will look something like:

PHP Code:

//This code leads to a parse error, but I am trying to do something to this effect.


if ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid']==1) or if ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid']==3)
{
echo "You are not logged in, or you have not confirmed your e-mail address.";
} 


Edit-accidentally left out a bit of the code.

You should be able to do something like this without problems:

PHP Code:

if ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid']==1 || $bbuserinfo['usergroup']==3) 
{
echo "You are not logged in, or you have not confirmed your e-mail address.";
} 


The || stands for OR.

Will this work?

PHP Code:

if ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid']==1 or $bbuserinfo['usergroupid']==3)

Both methods work. Thanks for the help

yes, but you should prefer the or, its easier to read

also this method works and looks much better for more than two groups:

PHP Code:

if (in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], array(1,3)))
{
echo "You are not logged in, or you have not confirmed your e-mail address.";
}

I was going to post that but since it was only 2, I went with the "or".

*gg*
even when there are just two it's shorter as you can see

and so it's easy to add another group, so why don't just give him the solution for make it easy and fast

You're right, I should have gone the other route. I usually use the "or" if it is only 2 though. Habit more than anything, I guess.
