Space in If Else statement.

[yourfreemp4player]

Hi,

 

I have a space in the word I need to use in an If Else statement and its killing my page.

 

This is what I'm putting on my site...

 

if($session->prize==Option 1){

    echo " <img src=\"images/ipodstyle.jpg\"> ";}else{ }

 

It says "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in /home/freemp4/public_html/index.php on line 62"

 

However, if I was to change the word to "Option1", it works, but it doesn't help me, since I need the space in there...

 

Is there anything I can do besides get rid of the space?

 

Thanks in advance.

Well, you could use option 1 as a string of "Option 1" but it all depends on how you are using it and how you make it.

 

To me, I would do:

$option = 'Option 1';

if($session->prize == $option)

 

OR if Option changes,

$option = 'Option ' . $num; // However you give the number (loop, db, etc.)

if($session->prize == $option)

($session->prize==Option 1)

 

Invalid code.

 

If you want to check the contants in $session->prize to contain 'Option 1' then you need to place 'Option 1' inside a variable and check that or enclose double/single quotes around it and check it that way.

 

That's presuming 'Option 1' is exactly what you want to check against.
