reversing an IF statement

Often I end up using a "dumb" IF statement which to me seems that it could have been done some other way. Example : if( ($_GET["id"]==1) or ($_GET["mode"]=="home") or ((!isset($_GET["item"])) && ($_GET["mode"]=="news")) ) { // Here we do nothing } else { // This is where we do it } If we translate the above to simpler reading we could say : if(statement) // skip else // Do the stuff I'm ofcourse looking for this if(!statement) // Do the stuff Problem is, when using more statements I never seem to find the way of doing it without having an empty {} in it, dont know if you see my problem here however, its the best I can exmplain. For all I know it has to be like this. -- -- Kim Steinhaug ---------------------------------------------------------------------- There are 10 types of people when it comes to binary numbers: those who understand them, and those who don't. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- www.steinhaug.com - www.easywebshop.no - www.webkitpro.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------
