Hello,


Can someone please correct me on my efforts below.
If I have a condition where I want to test if a variable is not equal to
"student", "staff", or "admin".. what's the simplest was to achieve that?

Here's what I tried.. that didn't work:

<?php
if ( ($_POST['usertype'] != "student") || ($_POST['usertype'] !=
"staff") || ($_POST['usertype'] != "admin") )
{
// ...
}
?>

And also:

<?php
if ( ($_POST['usertype'] != "student" || "staff" || "admin" )
{
// ...
}
?>

I must be using the OR operator the wrong way. Can someone please
correct me on this.

Thanks very much for your time.


Regards
