Testing condition between a php form variable and a string? - php

Question

I am trying to test if $accesslevel is "admin" or "member", however I seem to have an error in my code. The input of the form is text.
Here is my control page:
public function addPerson()
{
// GET AND SET POSTED DATA
$username = $this->input->post('username');
$password = $this->input->post('password');
$accesslevel = $this->input->post('accesslevel');
$myerror = "";
// add the person to database with
if (($accesslevel != "admin") || ($accesslevel != "member"))
{
$myerror = "<br> Access level must be either member or admin.";
}
if(strlen($myerror)==0)
{
$this->db->query("INSERT INTO usersas6 "."(compid,username,password,accesslevel) VALUES "."(null,'$username', '$password', '$accesslevel')");
$this->getAllPerson();
$this->template->show('Admin', $this->TPL);
}
if(strlen($myerror) != 0){
$this->TPL["myError"] = $myerror;
$this->getAllPerson();
$this->template->show('Admin', $this->TPL);
}
}
I am also getting a warning (Undefined Variable) on my view page when I display the contents of $myError. How do I properly put $this->TPL["myError"] = $myerror; into an array so that I do not get this warning?

You can edit your code like this, make the $this->TPL["myError"] = $myerror; out side or put it in both statements
if (($accesslevel != "admin") || ($accesslevel != "member"))
{
$myerror = "<br> Access level must be either member or admin.";
}
$this->TPL["myError"] = $myerror;
if(strlen($myerror)==0)
{
$this->db->query("INSERT INTO usersas6 "."(compid,username,password,accesslevel) VALUES "."(null,'$username', '$password', '$accesslevel')");
$this->getAllPerson();
$this->template->show('Admin', $this->TPL);
}
else if(strlen($myerror) != 0){
$this->getAllPerson();
$this->template->show('Admin', $this->TPL);
}
