is defined

[Guest]

Hi i need to do something like this but dont think its the right code, as i dont get the right result

do i have the or in the right place?

<CFIF NOT IsDefined("session.Username") or ("session.AdminUsername")>
<CFLOCATION URL="Login.cfm">
</CFIF>

<CFIF NOT IsDefined("session.Username") or NOT IsDefined("session.AdminUsername")>
<CFLOCATION URL="Login.cfm">
</CFIF>

or

<CFIF NOT (IsDefined("session.Username") or IsDefined("session.AdminUsername"))>
<CFLOCATION URL="Login.cfm">
</CFIF>

depending on what you want.

Actually shouldn't that be
NOT IsDefined("...") AND NOT IsDefined("...")

With an OR operand one of those two options will always be true and the
cflocation will alway be run. That isn't the desired effect is it?

Perhaps. I did add "depending on what you want", which leaves some leeway. The key suggestion to JohnGree was that the isDefined() function has to be repeated for every variable. Hence, isDefined("var_A") and/or isDefined("var_B"), rather than isDefined("var_A") and/or ("var_B").

How do you figure that?

<cfset a = 1>
<cfset b = 2>
<cfif not isDefined("a") or not isDefined("b")>
Either expression was true
<cfelse>
Neither expression was true
</cfif>


I think you are getting confused with this sort of nonsense:
<cfif a is not 1 or a is not 2>
Will always be true: if it's 1, then it's not 2. If it's 2 then it's not
1.
</cfif>
