Re: if(($var && $var < $othervar) *** ignore my first mail ***

(i accidently sent the first message) I can see how you are confused, let me try to clear things up: $a = 1; $b = 2; if ($a && $a < $b) { } What that is saying is "if $a is unequal to zero and $a is less then $b". The expression: "if ($a && $a) {" would mean "if $a is greater than zero and $a is greater than zero". Basically the following two things are identical: 1. if ($a) 2. if ($a != 0) { It is just a short hand way of doing it. So, to answer your question: > if (($clients[$i]["views"] && $clients[$i]["views"] < $clients[$i]["views_used"]) || > ($clients[$i]["clicks"] && $clients[$i]["clicks"] < $clients[$i]["clicks_used"]) || > (isset($clients[$i]["days"]) && $clients[$i]["days"] < 0)) > { In english: If the client views are not zero and they are less than the views used OR the client clicks are not zero and they are less than the clicks used OR the clients days is set and they are less then zero THEN do whatever. > 2. Is the pipe " || " an or, and, continue, or what? That is an OR statement.
