Trouble with an if then statement

[anthonydamasco]

I'm basicly trying to get this script to work

My MySQL table is called 'joborder' and the field is 'checkedby' by default 'checkedby' is set to post "no one" Basicly I want an if then statment to do this

If 'checkedby' == value "No one" Then echo ' '
Else include "checkid.html"

but I dont know the correct way to do it.

[code=php:0]

  <?php

$checkedby = $my_row['checkedby'];

  if($checkedby == 'no one')
{
  echo '';
}else{
  include_once("checkid.html");
} 
 
  ?>
[/code]

but i know im doing something wrong.

Try:
[code]<?php
$checkedby = $my_row['checkedby'];
if(strtolower($checkedby) != "no one"){
include_once("checkid.html");
} 
?>[/code]

Orio.

Well try using "No one" instead of "no one". PHP is a case sensitive language just like dbs.
Maybe there is a problem with your default post at "no one" try echoing the data you fetch first. See what it's even a space character can break that if statement. "no  one" != "no one".
Above that logic looks ok
