While coding, the validity of an inequality is often required. In simple words, you need to check if the value if a given variable is between two other numbers,
But if you directly write this in PHP if statement, you will get a buggy statement. This is because when this expressions will be evaluated (from left to right), first you will get a 1 (true) or 0 (false), depending upon the value stored in the variable $var. But then you will always get 1 or true, because 0 or 1 is always less then the next number 150.
The correct php code to check if a variable is between two numbers is this,
This will result in correct output as the code in parentheses will be evaluated first.
If you need to check if a variable is between two numbers very often, then you can also use the following function to check the validity of inequality,
if($varToCheck < $low) return false;
if($varToCheck > $high) return false;
return true;
}
You can then simply call this function as needed,
echo 'The number is in the range!';
} else {
echo 'The number is outside the range!';
}
