(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.
Sorry bout top posting im new to this group thing as well as php.
Thanks for trying to help me. the code below is an exact paste from
the page. I have the first two if statements there to test the
variables. When the code runs I see TRUE TRUE and thats it the die
never runs. It is my understanding that I am trying to say in my
statement that if $_REQUEST["frmIsEarlyBird"] == "1" is true AND
date("Y-m-d") < $rowWork["wEarlyBird"] is true run the die. I dont
understand why the first two if statetments would each display true
but the third not run.
if ($_REQUEST["frmIsEarlyBird"] == "1") {
echo "<br><br>TRUE<br><br>";
} else {
echo "<br><br>False<br><br>";
}
if (date("Y-m-d") < $rowWork["wEarlyBird"]) {
echo "<br><br>TRUE<br><br>";
} else {
echo "<br><br>False<br><br>";
}
if ($_REQUEST["frmIsEarlyBird"] == "1" && date("Y-m-d") <
$rowWork["wEarlyBird"]) {
die("<h1>The earlybird special has ended.</h1>");
}
If that's the actual code, with nothing in between that can alter either of the variables, I'm thoroughly puzzled. 100% sure you're not misspelling one of the variable names? And have you enabled display_errors and set error_reporting to E_ALL | E_STRICT ?
