Hello everybody,

I am having trouble finding a logic for following problem:

Should be true if:
page = 1 OR page = 3, but it should also be true if page = 2 OR page = 3

The result should never contain 1 AND 2 in the same time.

This obviously does not work:
(page = 1 OR page = 3) OR (page = 2 OR page = 3)

This also does not work:
(page = 1 OR page = 3 AND page != 2) OR (page = 2 OR page = 3 AND page != 1)

Has somebody an idea how to solve this?

Thank you in advance for any help!

Merlin:

The variable "page" cannot hold two values at the same time and thus your statement "The result should never contain 1 AND 2 in the same time" is nonsense.

Now if you are working two variables, namely $a and $b and you want an algorithm to solve your problem, it's simple.

if ($a + $b > 3)
   {
   $result = true;
   }
else
    {
   $result = false;
   }

Cheers,

tedd
