Multiple OR in php if() not seeming to respond properly. Tested array values and all. What am I doing wrong?

Question

I am running a very simple if statement which works perfect until I add the two additional || (or) operators.

Here is my code:

if ($planDetails['Company']['name'] != 'company1'
|| $planDetails['PlanDetail']['name'] != 'pd-name1' 
|| $planDetails['PlanDetail']['name'] != 'pd-name2') { echo "TEST"; }

I've checked my array data and table values to ensure they are precise in the names etc.. And this is not kicking. What am I doing wrong? When I remove the additional 2 || options, the first argument works fine, so I know my logic is correct.

What in the name am I doing wrong here. Someone please set me straight!

Answer 1

Well, what I read here is:

If $variable is not equal to A Or $variable is not equal to B
Then echo "TEST"

Since $variable cannot be equal to both A and B at the same time, it will always print "TEST".

Of course, the above refers to the last two conditions in your if.
