[SOLVED] problem running if statement

[DamienRoche]

I have wrote this simple if statement, along with a nested if statement.

 

if ($var =="yes") {

if($var2 !="" && $var3 !=""){

/////do some stuff

}
}

 

The problem I'm having is that the if statement nested inside the first if statement runs regardless of whether the first statement is satisfied or not.

 

It doesn't make any sense to me because as far as I know it shouldn't even be looking at that code unless the if statement is satisfied.

 

Am I missing something?

Sounds like $var does, in fact, equal "yes".

 

$var = "no";
$var2 = "text";
$var3 = "here";

if($var == "yes"){
if($var2 != "" && $var3 != ""){
	echo "It should never get here!";
}
}

 

That code does not echo anything for me.

Ya know what I should have done? echoed the variables...turns out there was a missing character causing issues. 

 

Thanks for your time.
