grozanc Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Hello, I'm trying to use an if statement to either display a jpg or flv image that has the link stored in a database. The file names will vary, but the .jpg or .flv will always be the same. How do I tell the if statement to ignore everything before the .jpg or .flv file? Below is an example of what I'm using. if ($row['image1'] == jpg) { echo "<img name=mainimage src='".$row['image1']."'><br>"; } Basically, what should I put in place of "jpg" so it will distinguish between file types? Thanks, Gary Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/103763-solved-help-with-defining-an-instance-for-if-statement/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
