desperate call for help on event switcher

Hi

I really really really am desperate to get some help on a custom event switcher code that I just cannot get right
I'm not new to CF, I'm not new to php... but this situation is absolutly not explainable in my head...

So let's start, the basics...
success or fail
if somethen then fail else success

this works fine:

if $form->data['variable'] = value {
return fail;
} else {
return success;
}

even this works fine

if $form->data['somevariable1] == somevalue OR $form->data['someothervariable'] == somevalue  {
return fail;
} else {
return success;
}

But hey, don't you dare to use this 'caus it ignores the AND operator for some unexplainable dark reason I just can't see...

if $form->data['somevariable1] == somevalue OR ($form->data['someothervariable'] == somevalue AND $form->data['someothervariable'] == somevalue )   {
return fail;
} else {
return success;
}

WHY WHY WHY?????

Is there any way to debug this? the debugger in the actions is showing variables and values and they are all correct, just the AND operator is busting my b****

At this point I am even willing to pay $100 USD to the one person that can fix this.
Spent hours and days to get the form right, i better wrote the code from scratch. At least that php code obeys written commands.

Hi chusane!

($form->data['someothervariable'] == somevalue AND $form->data['someothervariable'] == somevalue )

if "somevalue" has different values for the 2 comparsions it can never true!

Hi chaunse,

You need to return a string 'success' with quotes, not just success; and the if clause requires ()

if ( $form->data['somevariable1] == 'somevalue' OR ($form->data['someothervariable'] == 'somevalue' AND $form->data['someothervariable'] == 'somevalue' )  ) {
  return 'fail';
} else {
  return 'success';
}

Hi guys,

thank you for your answers, it was very late at night when i made the above post.
I did make some typo's but this is the actual code. It looks fine to me but if you guys find an error in it I would be greatful

it is this string that is ignored

AND $form->data['Nr_Plaats_tewerkstelling'] = 1

I enter a "stamnr" for people where "Nr_Plaats_tewerkstelling = 3" in the database. Yet they get stopped where my code says they should be allowed since only "Nr_Plaats_tewerkstelling = 1" should be blocked
