Re: [PHP] Newbie Problem with an IF Statement

[Leif K-Brooks]

What the heck?  The string "[status]='active'" doesn't check anything. 
It is converted to boolean by the if statment, which will be true, as 
it's not an empty string.  I'm guessing you want to use 
if($status=='active'){

I have a short bit of code that contains an if/else that is causing me some

am not seeing it.
Can someone take a look and see where I am coding wrong?

<SNIPPET>

if ("[status]='active'"){
print ("the active line\n");
} else {
print ("inactive line\n");
}
</SNIPPET>

Thanks in advance
