[SOLVED] If statement issue

[refiking]

I echoed both variables to make sure and I am obviously missing something really simple.  Here's what I have:

IF ($num > $limit){
     Echo 'It is workin';
          }

 

By the way, $num  = 4 and $limit = 3

[Zane]

uh.....as far as I'm concerned. that looks fine to me....also it looks like a snippet of something

 

what else is there, there is probably an error somewhere else

[Maq]

Do you get any errors?  What is the output?  And, as zanus said, post the entire script there's obviously something else wrong...

Here's the code.  The script in and of itself works fine.  It's this section here. Once again, everything else works fine.  When I echo $num and $limit, I get 4 and 3 just like I am supposed to.

$limit = $_POST['limit'];
$value = $_POST['value'];
IF ($value != ""){
$cl = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `data` WHERE `$value` = 'yes'")or die(mysql_error());
$num = mysql_num_rows($cl);

}
IF ($num > $limit){
     Echo 'It is workin';
}

Try this just to make sure...

 

$limit = $_POST['limit'];
$value = $_POST['value'];
IF ($value != ""){
$cl = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `data` WHERE `$value` = 'yes'")or die(mysql_error());
$num = mysql_num_rows($cl);

}

$num = 4;
$limit = 3;

IF ($num > $limit){
     Echo 'It is workin';
}

Sorry guys.  I had it inverted.  $limit > $num

The things you miss when you've been coding for too many hours straight.  LOL

[Zane]

you never did really tell us the problem.....

 

you pretty much just said....IF statement don't work (*in a hillbilly accent* to make a point)

 

what doesn't work about it...are you getting errors...are the values empty, is the page blank, is the ECHO not echoing....

I'd assume the echo is working but...well....Maq as pretty much solved that idea

[Zane]

cool, well glad you got it working

[Maq]

Just as I suspected, the error lies between the chair and the computer...
