I'm looking for an 'unless' statement, but as far as I can tell, PHP doesn't have one. Hopefully someone can help me rewrite my statement. In English, I want to say: "always do something UNLESS these 3 conditions are met". The best I've been able to come up with in PHP is this: if ( ($current_page == $saved_page) and ($current_ip == $saved_ip) and ($current_dt < ($saved_dt + 3600)) ) { return; } else { $query = "UPDATE table SET hits = '$count', agent = '$agent', ts = '$date_time' WHERE page = '$page'"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die ('Error! -- ' . mysql_error()); } However, I've read where this is not really acceptable. Can someone help me eliminate the 'else' portion of this if statement? Thank you, Angela P.S. I realize the above isn't complete code but it should still be clear. If not, let me know.
