You can have 'nested' if statements withing a single if statement, using additional parenthesis. For example, instead of having: <?php if( $a == 1 || $a == 2 ) { if( $b == 3 || $b == 4 ) { if( $c == 5 || $ d == 6 ) { //Do something here. } } } ?> You could just simply do this: <?php if( ($a==1 || $a==2) && ($b==3 || $b==4) && ($c==5 || $c==6) ) { //do that something here. } ?> Hope this helps! --was-- You can have 'nested' if statements withing a single if statement, using additional parenthesis.
