PHP / WordPress logic help (&&, ||, etc)

  • I’m working on a plugin for WP but I am running into a PHP logic problem. Given $Var_check equals “1” and my_function does exist , what is wrong with my logical PHP statement below. It always echo’s ‘Always get this…’ when it should actually return ‘I should get this but…’

    // Check to see if options are logical
    if ( ($Var_check == “1”) || ($Var_check == “6”) && (function_exists(‘my_function’))) {
    echo “I should get this, but…”;
    } else {
    echo ‘Always get this…’}

    Is it my syntax? Any help would be very much appreciated.

  • I’m not much of a coder, but what I think is happening is that you’re checking for:

    Does $Var_check =1? OR Does $Var_check =1 AND is there a function called My_function?

    Try this:

    EDIT: mangled code, posting again

    Or this:

    <?php // Check to see if options are logical

    function my_function() {
    echo 'Hi';
    }
    $Var_check =1;
    if ( (($Var_check == "1") || ($Var_check == "6")) && (function_exists('my_function'))) {
    echo "I should get this, but...";
    } else {
    echo 'Always get this...';}
    ?>

    Thanks for the reply. I had your version earlier and it didn’t work. Sad. But I very much appreciate your response. I got frustrated and decided to take the query in another direction. Probably not as elegant, but it gets the job done.

    Thanks again!
