Jess, In your statement;
if("$status=='active'"){ the conditional inside quotations is treated as a string and not evaluated, remove the outer double quotes :-> hope this helps, Warren Vail [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Ray Hunter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2003 8:02 AM To: Hunter, Jess Cc: PHP Mailing List Subject: Re: [PHP] Still having a problem with IF/ELSE Statement Maybe throw in the code where $status or $Row[status] get initialized. but i would do it like this: if( $status == 'active' ) { echo "active line\n"; } else { echo "inactive line\n"; } or if( $Row['status'] == 'active' ) { echo "active line\n"; } else { echo "inactive line\n"; } One of those should work based on the code. However, based on the variables $Row and $status that might not be the case. -- Ray On Thu, 2003-03-06 at 05:31, Hunter, Jess wrote: > I want to tahnk those that responded to my previous post, seems I was doing > this all the wrong way.
