if..elseif..else statement with 'OR' conditions

I'm working on custom breadcrumbs in drupal website and have to display one word based on a few categories
PHP instruction like:

<?php if (($ppp=='bracelets') || ($ppp=='earrings') || ($ppp=='brooches') || ($ppp=='necklaces')): print_r('JEWERLY');
elseif (($ppp=='combs') OR ($ppp=='feathers') OR ($ppp=='hairpins') OR ($ppp=='squiggles') OR ($ppp=='tiaras')): print_r('HEADPIECES');
else: print_r('OTHER');
endif; ?>

always gives me result 'OTHER'

For exaple I put before <?php print_r($ppp);?>
and get
Bracelets OTHER
or
Feathers OTHER

What do I do wrong?

Thanks

 

Bracelets (capital B) does not equal bracelets(small b), use the strtolower function instead. You could just add the line

$ppp=strtolower($ppp)

PHP:

before this script.

Also, it may be easier to use the in array function when comparing a string to a lot of other strings:

if(in_array($ppp,array('brachelets','earrings','brooches','necklaces'))):
	print_r('JEWERLY');
elseif(in_array($ppp,array('combs','feathers','hairpins','squiggles','tiaras'))):
	print_r('HEADPIECES');
else:
	print_r('OTHER');
endif;

PHP:

in_array is case insensitive, therefor you don't need to lowercase the needle.
