I checked it and unfortunately this is not what I need. Basically would it 
work conveniently  if you work with only one vector. But if you investigate a 
buch of data in a  batch any calculation will stop if only one vector is not 
in the given range. Better would be a textual output. Therefore I think 
something for the php file would make more sense. For example:

if "option is for test chosen" AND "numeric vector is in range" THEN "perform 
test" ELSE "write 'Data not in Range'"

. Hope you get what I mean. Nothing difficult I think but I didn't succed with 
the syntax so far.
