How is a PHP if statment formated, like if $game = North Royaltin then $game = North_Royaltin?

A correct if statement would be:

Code:

if ($game = 'North Royaltin') {
function_to_run();
}

Although the code you gave doesn't make sense, since it doesn't do anything Smile

that should be:

Code:

if ($game == 'North Royaltin') {
function_to_run();
}

note the double equals

You'll also often see this, if there is just a single statement to be evaluated:

Code:

$some_var = ($testvar == 'some value') ? $true_result : $false_result;

This is identical (at least from a functional standpoint) to:

Code:

if ($testvar == 'some value')
{
$some_var = $true_result
}
else
{
$some_var = $false_result
}

It just does it all on one line. Cool

I use this quite frequently, actually.

You want this:

Code:

if($game=="North Royaltin") $game="North_Royaltin";

How do I use or in an if statment like
if ($number == '1' or $number == '2') {
function_to_run();
}

Try

Code:

if (($number == '1') or ($number == '2')) {
function_to_run();
}

It worked the way I had it, lol. I guess I should test it before I ask.

Code:

if (($number == '1') || ($number == '2')) {
function_to_run();
}

is better
