[SOLVED] php if statement error

[NathanS]

Hi there everyone:

 

I have a problem and I just can't figure it out! $AVALUE will return either Yes or No based on what the customer selects in a <select> list option. I have tested that the variable outputs correctly, and it does. However, in the following script, it always says error (the else statement) rather than the first two. Any ideas?

 

Thanks!!

 

$AVALUE = "".$_POST["AVALUE"]."\n";

if ($AVALUE == "Yes") {
	echo "<BR>";
	echo "<P>The valuation has now been agreed, and an email dispatched to Business Support</P>";
	echo "<P><a href='panel.php'><img src='undo.png' border='0'></a><BR /><B>Back to panel</B></a></P>";
	echo "<BR>";
	$msg = "Registration Number: ".$_POST["REGNO"]."\n";
	$msg .= "First Name: ".$_POST["FNAME"]."\n";
	$msg .= "Last Name: ".$_POST["LNAME"]."\n";
	$msg .= "Postcode: ".$_POST["PCODE"]. "\n";
	$msg .= "Value: ".$_POST["VVALUE"]. "\n";
	$recipient = "n.scott@hertsinsurance.com";
	$subject = "Valuation Agreed";
	$mailheaders = "From: Herts Insurance Consultants LTD <InternetQuote@hertsinsurance.com> \n";
	mail($recipient, $subject, $msg, $mailheaders);

} elseif ($AVALUE == "No") {
	echo "<BR>";
	echo "You have chosen to decline the Agreed Valuation Request. Please e-mail the customer to inform them of this 

decision, and the appropriate reasoning behind it. This record will remain in Unactioned AV's - Please make a note of this case so as 

not to mistake this for a new entry. The ID Number is '$id'. ";
	echo "<BR>";
	echo "<P><CENTER><a href='panel.php'><img src='undo.png' border='0'></a><BR /><B>Back to panel</B></a></CENTER></P>";
	echo "<BR>";

} else {	

	echo "There has been an error, $AVALUE";

}

You're adding \n onto the end of the original value, so surely you need to search for "Yes\n" and "No\n".

Oh....my god. I deserve to be slapped.....does it show that I've had no sleep over the past few weeks? Heh, thanks for that!  I'll go and remind myself how vital sleep is and what a stupid error I was just getting!
