Unfortunately, this is not how conditionals work.
You first statement breaks down like:
$myzone !=3D=3D ("here") -> can be true or false
or
("there") -> a string, which cast to a boolean will always be true, no =
further evaluation will be done, conditions are met, code die()s .
You could use a lengthy version:
if (
$myzone !=3D=3D "here" ||
$myzone =3D=3D "there" ||
$myzone =3D=3D "where"){ die: }
Then again, I don't understand you logic. The script is only allowed to =
=
run when it's 'here', so why exactly fo you want to check the rest? If =
$myzone =3D=3D 'here', it cannot be anything else, unless your trying =
something more complex then the example offcourse, in which case I'd be =
=
interested in what exactly.
