problem with php logic

Hi,

If I leave out the ?name= from logic.php it correctly displays "no name specified." But if I do logic.php?name=Jack it displays wrong name. Same with a bogus value. I tried changing the operator to !=, but the code outputs "name accepted" for any value using this method. :confused: I would appreciate any tips with this.

Code:

<?php

        $var = $_GET["name"];



        if (!$var)

        {

                echo "no name specified";

        }

        else

        {

                if ($var !== ("Jack" || "Jill" || "Ted" || "Sarah"))

                {

                        echo "wrong name";

                }

                else

                {

                        echo "name accepted";

                }

        }

?>

I think your evaluation needs to be as follows:

Code:

if ($var != "Jack" && $var != "Jill" && $var != "Ted" && $var != "Sarah")

If any of those names is entered, you should see "name accepted"

Thanks! That did the trick
