Code: [Select]

ELSE
Go way

Well, not really sure what the statements are supposed to represent.  I changed them to php variables, but if this isn't the case, you can always change them.

Code: [Select]

if ($statement1 || $statement2 || $statement5 || ($statement3 && $statement4))
{
// do something
}
else
{
redirectexit(); // Takes them to the home page...
// other options.
// fatal_error('Error', false); <-- This will give an error message
// exit; <-- This will exit execution of the rest of the code.
}

Ah

Double Blips and surrounded by brackets

If each statement is a context

Like the one I have just changed to your style

Code: [Select]

($context['in_maintenance'] && $context['user']['is_admin'])
I just replace the complete $Statement with the above inc brackets

e.g

Code: [Select]

if (($context['in_maintenance'] && $context['user']['is_admin']) || (!empty($context['user']['avatar'])) || (!empty($context['open_mod_reports']) && $context['show_open_reports']))
Just making sure the Brackets etc are in the right place also the final is a lot longer but it is the principle I am after

Ok, so according to your if statement, there are 3 conditions in which this will be true:

1st condition:  $context['in_maintenance'] && $context['user']['is_admin']
OR
2nd condition:  !empty($context['user']['avatar'])
OR
3rd condition: !empty($context['open_mod_reports']) && $context['show_open_reports']

if this is the correct conditions, than yep, looks good.  Just removed the ( and ) from around the !empty($context['user']['avatar']), which is not a big deal, just not needed in here:

Code: [Select]

if (($context['in_maintenance'] && $context['user']['is_admin']) || !empty($context['user']['avatar']) || (!empty($context['open_mod_reports']) && $context['show_open_reports']))
FYI:  A few Basic PHP Operators, when working with if statements, that can be used:

Code: [Select]

AND: &&
OR: ||
Is Equal to: ==
Is Not Equal to: !=
Is Less than: <
Is Less than or equal to: <=
Is Greater than: >
Is Greater than or equal to: >=
Not: ! Also Shortie, if this is going to be a very long if statement, may be a better idea to set variables for each statement/condition, for example:

Code: [Select]

$statement1 = $context['in_maintenance'] && $context['user']['is_admin'] ? true : false;
$statement2 = !empty($context['open_mod_reports']) && $context['show_open_reports'] ? true : false;

// Than the if statement can change to this:

if ($statement1 || !empty($context['user']['avatar']) || $statement2)
So this approach makes it more manageable.
