(php) 条件运算符有什么问题？ 有一个函数可以确定关联数组是否有任何键

Question

I want to redirect the user when the super global variable $_GET["chapter"] it's defined and it does not have a value that I didn't specify:

if(isset($_GET["chapter"])){
    $myChapter=$_GET["chapter"];
    if($myChapter!="prelude" OR $myChapter!="chapter-1"){
        header("location:what.php");   
    }
}

the problem happens when I set the super global variable $_GET["chapter"] it's defined as prelude or as chapter-1 in the link

chapter=prelude

the page redirect me to what.php (the error page). If I modify the conditional with a just one condition, the redirect function (header) does not redirect me to what.php. It works

if(isset($_GET["chapter"])){
    $myChapter=$_GET["chapter"];
    if($myChapter!="prelude"){
        header("location:what.php");
    }
}

if a put a "else if" or another "if" the conditional left to work.

Last question: there is function that found if an associative array have any key?

Answer 1

The condition you have will always return true. If, eg, $myChapter is prelude , it won't be equal to chapter-1 . It looks like you meant to use the and logical operator, not or :

if ($myChapter != "prelude" and $myChapter != "chapter-1") {
    // Here ----------------^
    header("location:what.php");   
}
