#10515 — AND and OR

  Hi,

Doing code cleanup; something that seemed so simple is giving me lots of 
trouble for whatever reason.

Win 7,  XAMPP, PHP 5.3, online forms:

In my cleanup efforts I've been trying to concatenate statements for 
things like the following:

IF(strlen(var1) == 0) OR strlen(var2) == 0) OR strlen(var3) ==0))
{
code; notify user of errors that must be corrected.
}

I know OR is || and AND is &&, and have tried every combination of code 
I can think of but I consistently get syntax errors and it never works.
    Doing each var independently works fine; e.g. if(strlen($var) == 0) 
{...}, works as expected, first time every time.

It's when I start to try to use AND or OR that I get in trouble; I 
continually get syntax errors, suggesting I don't know what I'm doing, 
which I guess is obvious.
     At one time I had a downloaded code page explaining precisely how 
to OR them together, but darned if I can refind it on my hard drive OR 
online either! I just cannot locate the proper way to OR vars together.

Either a code example or URL to such a feature would be great! I am just 
not finding anything on Google or otherwise to demo how it works!

Thanks in Advance,

Twayne`

RTM, the syntax is clear.

ACK.

Regarding the syntax of variables the following seems to also be
recommendable:

No, it's not clear at all. The only reference to my query is a few lines 
in a 2-year old post and it's not definitve. I've not only read that 
before, but have it on disc.

Hmm. you can be pretty much a trolling idiot at times, huh? A "normal" 
person would just not bother to read, let alone waste time responding in 
such manner.  I'll not be reading your useless posts any longer so flop 
around on the dock all you want. Oh, and enjoy!

your brackets are screwed.

if ((strlen(var1) == 0) || (strlen(var2) == 0) || (strlen(var3) ==0))

will work
as will
if (strlen(var1) == 0 || strlen(var2) == 0 || strlen(var3) ==0)

Yebbut, for twayne, that may be taking things a step too far..

many many years ago when I was a real noob and learning C without the
benefit of any training courses,  I had to revisit some code to find two
bugs in it. The new person who had taken over asked me why I had never
used a particular language construct.  I replied 'because at the time, I
didn't know it existed'

Trainee coders are often dumped into maintenance.  One should be kind to
them. And with advances in modern compilers, there is no speed or
compiled code size penalty in being explicit at the source code level.

We were all noobs once.

Perhaps, but I don't think so. While many things in PHP are still 
unknown to me, a lot is known to me. I've gained a LOT of knowledge over 
the last few months and have put 99% of it to use. My goal hasn't been 
to learn all there is about PHP and likely never will be since IMO 
learning how/where to find answers, understand the syntax properly, 
error checking, sessions, arrays and the like have been my recent goals. 
I write online PHP forms for websites and that's where my attentions are 
focused until I know them well. The "manual" at php.net and w3 schools 
IMO are the best "bibles" plus a few other places like NAS and Tizag are 
pretty good too, among others.

While I appreciate your attitude toward noobies, I've found over the 
years that words such as this are never understood by over-sized ego's 
or OTOH might draw some flames. I've come across several of that type on 
other newsgroups and forums I participate on. Mostly it's best just to 
ignore their posts. Personally I'll usually respond in kind to such a 
thing one time and then simply ignore them.

I do thank you for your attitude, however,

well counting left and right brackets is fundamental programming, and
someone who makes such a basic mistake *and doesn't see it*  is pretty
new to the game.

As I said, the ! operator is less intuitive than '==0' to me anyway,
though after years of C its second nature.

by definition at this particular  game you ARE a noob. or you wouldn't
have missed the unmatched brackets. I  ceratyinly d0nt see that as any
reflection on unerlying intelligence...teh first program I wrte in
assembler I copied exactly out of a book. It didnt assemble. Then I took
the line numbers out. It still didn't assemble. Then I removed all
leading spaces from every line. That did work. That took two 4 hour
sessions of frustration.

I wasn't stupid. I simply had no idea, nor did the documentation say,
that line numbers and spaces were tabu.

Not necessarily. Anyone can miss them if they are tired etc. But we then 
find them after a while. I'd say no one should be coming here with 
missed brackets unless they've spent some time looking and can't find it.

There again, I use TextWrangler. This allows me to double click just 
inside any bracket or paren, and it highlights everything up to the 
matching closing bracket or paren. That will tell you straight away that 
you've got a missing one, or, by descending into it, whether you got 
them *correctly* matched.

well I use geany, and unmatched anything tends to go red..

I wasnt objecting to the error, but bringing it here. I'd say I
generally have an unmatched bracket for every 20 or so brackets I type :-)

I'm down to an error rate of 30% on = instead of == in if clauses.

I guess it doesn't work on Usenet.

Maybe I can offer a possible help for  some of that. If you editor 
allows you to, create clips or libraries so when you click them, they'll 
enter for you:
    ?PHP>

    ?>

or

HTML comment:
<!--   -->

PHP Comment Start:
if() === "" ) {

}

and it's especially useful for anything of more than a few characters, 
like $referrer, session functions, etc etc etc.

and so forth. By entering everything but the var & what goes between the 
"", you at least know all the surrounding code is current.

Also things like: <!DOCTYPE html> , <form action =, name=, et al 
including the end form & end HTML. It has a lot of uses once you create 
your own library or clip code.

There are of course complete libraries availble for PHP and HTML, C, and 
more, but in general I seldom use them unless I need to look up 
something I haven't done before. One does of course need to have the 
disclipine to update the clip/library as early as possible and to 
delete/replace the ones that are needed.
    It speeds up coding like nobody's business once it's set with your 
own often used or lengthy pieces of code.

Cheers,

Twayne`

no, sadly not :-(

Many text editors, including my own, work much the same way. NoteTab Pro 
and NotePad++ to mention two of them I use most. They're all also 
capable of knowing when a file has been changed and offers to reload the 
most recent versions etc.
