Actually, what you see is *exactly* the code being used. Nothing has changed
about it. And whether the variable is regarded as a string or a number, it
gives me the same stupid issue. Not recognizing it as a True statement. :\
Is there any way possible that this could be the client's server? I had to
beg to get 'em to recompile to 4.1.2 from 4.0.3. There are using a version
of Linux I don't recognize (it isn't redhat or mandrake), but it looks like
their kernel is up to date.
On my redhat server (with php 4.3.3), the same code responds properly (i.e.
that $vthere ==0 is true).
