// taking two variables and assigning 
// boolean values

$check2 = true;

// echo if either condition is true
if ($check1 || $check2) {
  echo "One or both conditions is/are true.\n";
}

$check1 = false;
$check2 = false;

// echo if either condition is true
if ($check1 || $check2) {
  echo "One or both conditions is/are true.\n";
} else {
  echo "Both of the conditions are false.\n";
}

// another test cases
$check1 = true;
$check2 = false;

if ($check1 || $check2) {
  echo "One or both conditions is/are true.\n";
} else {
  echo "Both of the conditions are false.\n";
}
