    How do I create an if statement which uses both greater than and less than

    I want to display
    'Excellent Cheat' if the rating is between 0 and 1.5
    so >0 and <1.5

    'Good Cheat' if the rating is between 1.5 and 2.5
    so >=1.5 and <2.5

    'Ok Cheat' if the rating is between 2.5 and 3.5
    so >=2.5 and <3.5

    I dont know how to do this in php though i tried this:
    if ($overall<1.5) ($overall>0);
{$CheatRating = "Excellent Cheat";}
if ($overall<2.5) ($overall>1.5);
{$CheatRating = "Good Cheat";}
if ($overall<3.5) ($overall>2.5);
{$CheatRating = "Ok Cheat";}
if ($overall<4.5) ($overall>3.5);
{$CheatRating = "Poor Cheat";}
    PHP:
    but it didnt seem to work as it found 'poor cheat' everytime.

    any help is very much appreciated. Thanks

    if ($overall<1.5 && $overall>0);
    {$CheatRating = "Excellent Cheat";}
    if ($overall<2.5 && $overall>1.5);
    {$CheatRating = "Good Cheat";}
    if ($overall<3.5 && $overall>2.5);
    {$CheatRating = "Ok Cheat";}
    if ($overall<4.5 && $overall>3.5);
    {$CheatRating = "Poor Cheat";}

    I think thats what your trying to do.

    Don't think you need the ; at the end of the if statement aswell.

    Hi there,

    This should work too:

    
$overall = 1.7;

switch ($overall) {
	case ((($overall > 0) and ($overall < 1.5))?$overall:false):
		$cheatRating = "Excelent cheat";
		break;
	case ((($overall >= 1.5) and ($overall < 2.5))?$overall:false):
		$cheatRating = "Good cheat";
		break;
	case ((($overall >= 2.5) and ($overall < 3.5))?$overall:false):
		$cheatRating = "OK cheat";
		break;
	case ((($overall >= 3.5))?$overall:false):
		$cheatRating = "Poor cheat";
		break;
	default:
		$cheatRating = "Poor cheat";
		break;
}
    PHP:
    Result:
    $cheatRating = "Good cheat".

    There are times when it's easier on the brain just to use if rather than a switch/case/break set.

    if ( $overall < 1.5 && $overall > 0 )    $CheatRating = 'Excellent Cheat';
if ( $overall < 2.5 && $overall >= 1.5 ) $CheatRating = 'Good Cheat';
if ( $overall < 3.5 && $overall >= 2.5 ) $CheatRating = 'Ok Cheat';
if ( $overall < 4.5 && $overall >= 3.5 ) $CheatRating = 'Poor Cheat';
if ( $overall >= 4.5 )                   $CheatRating = '...';
