How to type || without getting an if statement?

[ZAP]

Hello -

Been using RapidPHP for a while, and this is something that has always driven me crazy. When I try to type an OR comparison (||) the program always replaces the pipe charaters with if statements! I have looked and looked but I can't figure out how to disable this "feature".

This may have been answered before, but it's a very tough thing to search for (I did try).

Thanks in advance for your replies.

How do you meani it "program replaces "||" with "if"... I type || and nothing happens.

I've only got WeBuilder, not Rapid PHP, but initially thought it might be an auto correct feature, but was going to download Rapid PHP (well, the demo) to test.

ZAP- Have you checked your auto correct (in Options ... well, it is in WeBuilder...) to see if its in there?

Thanks for your replies.

I turned off both Auto Complete and Auto Replace in Preferences long ago and it still happens.

I wonder if the issue might be specific to my Spanish keyboard. The | character on this keyboard is accessed by pressing Right-Alt+1 (the Alt keys behave differently on Spanish keyboards). Is there a macro set to that key combination that I could disable somewhere?

That probably explains it then. CTRL + ALT + 1 is the shortcut to an IF block (well, it is in WeBuilder)

Go to 'PHP' -> 'PHP' -> 'Edit PHP Snippets...'

(click thumbnail for bigger pic)

(The menu may be different in Rapid PHP)

Select 'If' then click the 'Edit' button.
Change the shortcut key in the top right box:

YES!

THANK YOU so much for figuring this out! It's been bugging me for months. That fixed it.

I am wondering why the heck you need to press Ctrl + Alt + 1 to get | ? What kind of keyboard are you using?

Spanish?
