Combine three "complex" PHP conditions in one perfect php snippet - php

Question

I'm stuck in Drupal Panels / PHP Access plugins.
At least, now I found the three conditions to create my final snippet. the purpose of it is to return TRUE; if "condition1 is TRUE" OR "condition2 is TRUE" OR "condition3 is TRUE". I found a lot of similar questions, but the last condition force me to post here to find the right way to do this.
Condition 1:
// At least $view1->result has result.
$view1 = views_get_view('sp_onglet_videos');
$view1->set_display('views-tab-embed_1');
$output1 = $view1->preview();
if ($view1->result) {
return TRUE;
}
Condition 2 (same thing):
// At least $view2->result has result.
$view2 = views_get_view('sp_onglet_audio');
$view2->set_display('views-tab-default');
$output2 = $view2->preview();
if ($view2->result) {
return TRUE;
}
Condition 3 is more complex:
// Checks for content in the field field_txt_videos.
if (isset($contexts['argument_nid_1']->data-> field_txt_videos)) {
$field = $contexts['argument_nid_1']->data-> field_txt_videos;
if (is_null($field)) {
return FALSE;
}
if (is_array($field)) {
foreach ($field as $key => $val) {
if (is_array($val)) {
$field[$key] = array_filter($val);
}
}
$field = array_filter($field);
return count($field);
}
if (is_string($field) && trim($field) == '') {
return FALSE;
}
if ($field) {
return TRUE;
}
return FALSE;
}
I would like to have something clean (and functional) like this:
if ($view1->result && $view2->result && $field) {
return TRUE;
}
But it's to tricky for my php knowledge. Need a little help !

Answer 1

You want to save the result of the 3rd condition (into a variable) and use this result to run your final condition/query. But you can query the 3rd condition if it is a function.

Answer 2

It is better to properly space your code and use plenty of newlines.
However, PHP does have some pretty cool tricks to do assignment inside conditional statements.
if(($view1 = views_get_view('sp_onglet_videos')) AND $view1->set_display('views-tab-embed_1') AND ($output1 = $view1->preview()) AND $view1->result) return TRUE;
However, as you can see this code is a mess - don't do it unless your assignment is really small. Take this simple security check at the top of a PHP file:
<?php defined('BASE_PATH') OR die('Not Allowed');
