[new learner issue] multiple if statements and the && operator help please

if(is_numeric($_REQUEST[credit])) && if($_REQUEST[credit] == 1) && if($result[cash]<=$free_credit_trigger) $can_reset = true;

PHP:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_BOOLEAN_AND in [path] on line X

so I tried to wrap the Ifs in another bracket

if((is_numeric($_REQUEST[credit])) && if($_REQUEST[credit] == 1) && if($result[cash]<=$free_credit_trigger)) $can_reset = true;

PHP:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF in [path] on line X

I tried adding { } as well, which I know is optional in some simple circumstances. I am assuming the first example is the closest im getting. Ive been trying for an hour. Please help

 

*FACEPALM*

if((is_numeric($_REQUEST[credit])) && ($_REQUEST[credit] == 1) && ($result[cash]<=$free_credit_trigger)) $can_reset = true; 

PHP:

I feel like an idiot. thanks anyway. hahaha

 

You dont nest IF's within the IF itself. I also don't think you even need to compound your statements in that IF statement at all.


This is the correct code for what you have written

if(is_numeric($_REQUEST[]) && $_REQUEST['credit'] == 1 && $result['cash'] <= $free_credit_trigger)
{
   $can_reset = true;
}

PHP:

Brackets like you've done is for compounding statements, something like this:

if(($var1 == "something" || $var1 == "somethingElse") && ($var2 >= '1' && $var2 <= '10))
{
}

PHP:

So you can have multiple, compounded conditions. I don't see the need to compound the statements like you have there.

 

Also

$result[cash]

PHP:

Is semantically incorrect.

$result['cash']

PHP:

Is correct, while PHP will allow you to ommit the '' from the array you should include it else you can encounter problems later.
