Fairly new to PHP - But I come from a fairly fluent Classic ASP VBScript background.
PHP 5.5 (?) - Somewhere in there. MySQL db.
[sale_status] has values of "E" or "P" ("Expired" or "Pending", respectively)
I am looping through the table with PHP, and it displays all the values correctly ("E" or "P")
I am trying to do an "IF Statement" to do something when the value is "E" and something other thing for anything else.
My "IF Statement reads like...":
$salestatus = {{sale_status}}
if ($salestatus == "E") {
echo ("YES");
} ELSE {
echo ("NO");
}
For this, I get NO for everything (E and P).
I have tried === and strcmp and strcasecmp, but get the same thing.
I KNOW the values from {{sale_status}} are correct, because I can just echo that variable through the loop, and it display all the correct values.
For some reason, though, it will not distinguish E from P, or whatever.
In Classic ASP, it would be as simple as (if {sale_status} = "E", then ...) - and it works.
I know PHP has its own nuances, so that is what I am trying to learn.
Help is appreciated.
