RE: [PHP] Re: unless something...

True, but isn't unless just a negated while? q.e.d. while ($c==$a OR $c==$b) { blabla exit 0 } -----Original Message----- From: Johnson, Kirk [mailto:kjohnson@zootweb.com] Sent: Thursday, September 12, 2002 10:28 AM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: RE: [PHP] Re: unless something... There is no 'unless' in PHP, so you just have to grind it out. If you are searching for known strings, rather than string *patterns*, use the strstr() function here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strstr.php. So, something like: if(!strstr($c,$a) && !strstr($c,$b)) { bla; exit; } Completely untested ;) If you are looking for patterns, see preg_match(), linked to from the link above.
