I have no idea what i'm doing wrong with the if statement, I changed it so many ways. No matter what the word is it keeps going to True....Probably something simple and i'm not seeing it...

while($j < $i){
if ($final[$j] == "Interval" || "Large") {
echo "True$final[$j]";
}else{
echo "false$final[$j] $whitespaceten $final[$k] $whitespaceten $final[$l]<br>";

++$l;
++$k;
}
$m=$j;
++$j;

}

order of operations

it is equivalent to if( ($final[$j] == "Interval") || ("Large"))

"Large" by itself will evaluate to true. also, use strcmp on both strings

if (!strcmp($final[$j], "Interval") || !strcmp($final[$j], "Large"))

forgot to mention i just used two words but i want to compare that one word to like 20 different words.

if(in_array($final[$j], array("Interval", "Large", "so on", "so forth", "etc")))
