if statement not returning true

[summerpewp]

I have a statement

 

$account = $_SESSION['account_id'];

$postedby = $account_id;

 

/*both echo out to the same number*/

 

if($account == $postedby){

echo "DELETE BUTTON";

}

 

i echo'ed out both $account and $postedby and both return 1 but the if statement fails to read as true.

 

HELP!!!

 

thanks in advance!

Try using var_dump() instead of echo and do it on the line right before the if() statement.
