PHP if statement && logical operator error

Question

I hope this question hasn't been asked yet.

Time to time I get into the same problem while I'm coding, which is when I'm using two or more && logical operators like this:

if ($sCategory['sub_category_name'] == $subCat && $action == 'edit') {
    //Do stuff here
}

I get the error:

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '$action' (T_VARIABLE)

As reading some of other topics, I saw that sometimes there are hidden characters which cause the problem, but I did not find any other solution to mine. I'm using Sublime Text 3 on an iMac.

Thanks in advance

can you fetch the $sCategory['sub_category_name '] and $subcat and $action do you get the value? — Mudassar Saiyed

Please try this:

According to me, the array value is creating issue, so take this array value in another variable, just like this:

$cat_val = $sCategory['sub_category_name'];
if (($cat_val == $subCat) && ($action == "edit")) {
    //Do stuff here
}

Please try it once.

Hope, it may be helpful to you.

That might be a possible solution, I'll check it

I checked it and it works like that. Is there any restriction in php that it == logical operator can't compare more than x variables/array values?

Ok, it depends on the server to server versions. In localhost, it will not create problem in most of the cases, but on many live servers it creates issue.
