Fadion Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 The IF statement syntax is: if($a == $b){ echo $a; } Ure using {} insted of (). Guess u should learn a bit of syntax Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/64155-solved-if-statement-help/#findComment-319738 Share on other sites More sharing options...
