Hello all.
I am a PHP newbie and am having an issue using the && in an if
statement. here is the code:
if ($_REQUEST["frmIsEarlyBird"] == "1" && date("Y-m-d") <
$rowWork["wEarlyBird"]) {
die("<h1>The earlybird special has ended.</h1>");
}
Ok when the code runs it and both conditions are true nothing happens.
Testing:
$_REQUEST["frmIsEarlyBird"] is a valid form request and returns a
string of 1 or 0 depending on what im sending.
$rowWork["wEarlyBird"] Has a valid date in it and should validate as
true
If i put these if statements on the page they both work fine.
if ($_REQUEST["frmIsEarlyBird"] == "1") {
echo "<br><br>TRUE<br><br>";
} else {
echo "<br><br>False<br><br>";
}
if (date("Y-m-d") < $rowWork["wEarlyBird"]) {
echo "<br><br>TRUE<br><br>";
} else {
echo "<br><br>False<br><br>";
}
Thanks in advance for any help
When things like this fail, a good first step is to echo the values
involved.

For instance, right now, what do you have in $_REQUEST["frmIsEarlyBird"]
and $rowWork["wEarlyBird"]? Are you getting what you think you should
be getting from date("Y-m-d")? Also - is $_REQUEST["frmIsEarlyBird"]
equal to "1" or 1? They are two different values.

Also, $_REQUEST is generally not a good thing to use, If it's coming
from a POSTed forum, use $_POST. If it's in the URL, use $_GET.

(Top posting fixed)

Well, obviously something is not as you describe, because '&&' has a lower priority than either '==' or '<', which is why I asked you to verify this. It's either the data or the statement you supplied doesn't match what you have in your code. I'm just trying to eliminate possibilities.

P.S. Please don't top post. Thanks.
