[SOLVED] Why is this acting as a wildcard?

[SirChick]

The input value is $Street = "Regent Street"

 

the validation check im using is:

 

ElseIF($Street = " "){
die('You must select a street at the estate agents first!');
}

 

Now in the IF check i have " " not "". I have done the check for "" but because i had a list box and one was blank with a " " option i had to put the check for it also. But for some reason im assuming the else if is finding the space between the 2 words and so the result becomes:

 

You must select a street at the estate agents first!

 

 

So is my if statement acting as a wild card to find the space " "? Cos im lost on why its showing the die.

 

 

 

[lemmin]

ElseIF($Street == " "){
die('You must select a street at the estate agents first!');
}

 

You have to use the comparison operator, not the asignment one.
