tax based on either or session

Can someone please help me with this code. I am close but...

This code works:
//eCart Rule
function WAEC_cali_cart_PaotherSalesTax() {
$totalTax = 0;
if (true && (((isset($_SESSION['PayPal_ExpressCheckout_ship_countypp2'])?$_SESSION['PayPal_ExpressCheckout_ship_countypp2']:"") == "PAOTHER")) && ((isset($_SESSION['eCartCheckoutForm_shipping_state_province'])?$_SESSION['eCartCheckoutForm_shipping_state_province']:"") == "PA"))
{
$totalTax += ($this->GetTaxableTotal() * 0.06);//Result


This creates tax based on two session variables needing to be satisfied but I want to add an either / or session variable as well like below (but it does not work):

//eCart Rule
function WAEC_cali_cart_PaphiladelphiaSalesTax() {
$totalTax = 0;
if (true && (((isset($_SESSION['eCartCheckoutForm_ship_countypa'])?$_SESSION['eCartCheckoutForm_ship_countypa']:"") == "PAOTHER")) || (((isset($_SESSION['PayPal_ExpressCheckout_ship_countypp2'])?$_SESSION['eCartCheckoutForm_ship_countypp2']:"") == "PAOTHER")) && ((isset($_SESSION['eCartCheckoutForm_shipping_state_province'])?$_SESSION['eCartCheckoutForm_shipping_state_province']:"") == "PA")) {
$totalTax += ($this->GetTaxableTotal() * 0.06);//Result
}
return WA_eCart_FormatNumber($totalTax, $this->ForceDecimalsC, $this->DecimalPlacesC);
}
//eCart Rule

Thank you in advance.

please provide more details.

Please explain how you would like the condition for the tax to work. a faulty code example does not give me enough to go on.

I am trying to create a work around to deal with the fact that PayPal does not have a system to calculate sales tax based on county. So, I have added two dropdown boxes (one for New York & one for Pennsylvania) above the PayPal Express Checkout button so that a session variable for their county can be set prior to going to PayPal. This being said, if the customer use our local checkout then I also need to set a county session variable set for tax calculation. Based on other parts of this (validation / two state..) it was easier to have two different county variable for each state - 1 for paypal & 1 for local. So what I am trying to accomplish is a tax calculation based on if either of the county 2 county variable exist in addition to the shipping_state_province.

i.e. -

if either eCartCheckoutForm_ship_countypa = PAOTHER
or
eCartCheckoutForm_ship_countypp2 = PAOTHER
&
eCartCheckoutForm_shipping_state_province = PA
then add tax.

Hope this helps. Thanks.

I think I have found a work around. As I have set the assignment of the subject variable "eCartCheckoutForm_ship_county" on the confirm page and "PayPal_ExpressCheckout_ship_countypp" on the pp_confirm page the following code seems to be working. My concern was potentially having the tax charged twice if eCart (the page) found both session variables matching. If you have another suggestion I would, of course, be glad to hear it otherwise I will try using the below.

------------------------------

//eCart Rule
function WAEC_cali_cart_NyonondagaSalesTax() {
$totalTax = 0;
if (true && (((isset($_SESSION['PayPal_ExpressCheckout_ship_countypp'])?$_SESSION['PayPal_ExpressCheckout_ship_countypp']:"") == "NYONONDAGA")) && ((isset($_SESSION['eCartCheckoutForm_shipping_state_province'])?$_SESSION['eCartCheckoutForm_shipping_state_province']:"") == "NY") || (((isset($_SESSION['eCartCheckoutForm_ship_county'])?$_SESSION['eCartCheckoutForm_ship_county']:"") == "NYONONDAGA")) && ((isset($_SESSION['eCartCheckoutForm_shipping_state_province'])?$_SESSION['eCartCheckoutForm_shipping_state_province']:"") == "NY")) {
$totalTax += ($this->GetTaxableTotal() * 0.08);//Result
}
return WA_eCart_FormatNumber($totalTax, $this->ForceDecimalsC, $this->DecimalPlacesC);
}
//eCart Rule

OK, that looks like it should work.
