[Finding last entry]

why is field receiptnum type varchar if you put number in it?

["strpos" - use only once on a variable?]

no

let see

1st condition

strpos($currentuser['Skills'],"Accordion-") == "true"

strpos return number 0 (start position of substring)

when php compare number and string it convert string to number and get 0 == 0 => true (btw. "true" is not same as true)

1st condition can be

strpos($currentuser['Skills'].'-',"Accordion-") !== false

2nd must be

strpos($currentuser['Skills'].'-',"Bass (Upright)-") !== false

and so on
