Yes, indeed. I guess I misinterpreted. Or maybe not. The original
post said:

"Today I check for the existence of an email-address, and a validation
code - what I need is a way to check, eg. whether email _or_ phone is
entered, and if none is entered, display an errorpage."

So if you take it that both email and phone must be present and
valid, then "&&", if you take it that either of the email or phone must
be valid, then its "||". In either case, the rest of it is the same.
