ShopMAster Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Hey guys, I'm trying to do a simple if statement and for some reason it's not working when I do the == here is the code: row6 = 238 row1 = 238 row2 = 22 When I use this I get all lost as my info: if ($row[6] == $row[1]) $winner = "Won"; else $winner = "Lost"; When I use this I get the correct info: if ($row[6] != $row[2]) $winner = "Won"; else $winner = "Lost"; Why isn't the == getting the right information?

craygo Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 are the fields the same data type??? one is not an interger and the other a string??? I guess I am asking, what does your table structure look like??

ToonMariner Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 echo row6 and row 1 1st see what they actually are... could use (int)row[6] == (int)row[1] as your comparison Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/40195-simple-if-statement-is-giving-me-fits-noobie/#findComment-194484 Share on other sites More sharing options...
craygo Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 not if there is a leading space or a space at the end. Ray Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/40195-simple-if-statement-is-giving-me-fits-noobie/#findComment-194485 Share on other sites More sharing options...
