I don't see how 'if (!email || !phone) redirect;'
handles this case:
"if there is no email present, I want it to check if there is a
phonenumber entered, and if _both_ those conditions are false,
then I want to redirect."
The || would say that you will redirect if *either* email or phone is
not set.
With my code, if both are not set, then the redirect occurs.
If you continue past the if() then you know either email or phone (or
both) is set.
So you just take the action based upon that knowledge with a precedence
given to the email.
