Unable to make a value read as "true"?

[CourtneyRae]

I'm, unfortunately, asking the question on behalf of our coder, so I may not phrase it entirely correct (Apologies in advance!).

 

We are trying to use the following code to make a particular message display onscreen upon logging in. We think that the if statement is not functioning, or not reading the value as true. Any way to fix the problem?

 

if ($isloggingin == 1)

  {

       set("last_login",time());

set("flags",str_replace("(nodeltemp)","",get("flags")));

$action = "/".get("login");

  echo "<font color=".get("tcolor").">\n";

print (getfile("rpinfo"));

print nl2br(stripslashes(getfile("login")));

$pcs=explode(":",getfile("online"));

for($i=0;$i<count($pcs);$i++)

{

  if(strpos(getuser($pcs[$i],"friends"),$username)!==false&&!(getuser($pcs[$i],"x")==get("x")&&getuser($pcs[$i],"y")==get("y")&&getuser($pcs[$i],"z")==get("z")&&getuser($pcs[$i],"plane")==get("plane")))

  setuser($pcs[$i],"chat",getuser($pcs[$i],"chat")."<font class=friends><input type=button class=button onClick=javascript:tellTo('$username') value=*>$username has come online.</font><br>\n");

}

  }

 

Thanks for any help!

Nothing that looks obvious to me. Basic debugging steps: find out the assorted values, from variables and files and function calls, and compare them to what the code is expecting to see.

Thank you! Good to know the code isn't wonky. Do you have any idea where we would look for the values?

No, but it should be trivial for your coder to find the source code for get(), getfile(), and getuser() to determine how those work.
