正确使用AND OR（|| &&）和两个字符串值

Question

I could not find the answer to this anywhere, and it's a newbee mistake. Can someone help me with this statement:

<?php 
if ($db_ownrPlan == 'sell in a year or so' || 'get some info only no plans made yet'){
    echo "$TYmessage";
} elseif ($db_ownrPlan == 'sell soon' || 'sell in 3 to 6 months' || 'looking to buy this property'){
    echo "$TYmessage1";
} else {
    echo "$TYmessage2";
} 
?>

Answer 1

This is what you want to do:

<?php 
if ($db_ownrPlan == 'sell in a year or so' || $db_ownrPlan == 'get some info only no plans made yet'){
    echo "$TYmessage";
} elseif ($db_ownrPlan == 'sell soon' || $db_ownrPlan == 'sell in 3 to 6 months' || $db_ownrPlan == 'looking to buy this property'){
    echo "$TYmessage1";
} else {
    echo "$TYmessage2";
} 
?>

In PHP, and most other programming languages with similar syntax, you would compare variables like this:

VAR == value OR VAR == otherValue
