login check

I think this is the way I need to write my if statement. if ( $min && $user[ "min" ] == $min && $user[ "pin" ] == $pin || $pin == 'allow') $min login name entered by the customer at the form. $user[min] is the login name from my sql db that matches $min $user[pin] is the password from mysql db that matches $min $pin is the password that is entered by the user There's 4 checks 1) $min must have a value 2) $user[ "min" ] must equal $min 3) $user[ "pin" ] must equal $pin 4) $pin == 'allow' I want it so that both 1 and 2 must be true and either 3 or 4 must be true. Will this if statement work? Andrew Darrow Kronos1 Productions www.pudlz.com
