Calling an Include

[Anon]

Dose anyone know the proper way to choose the include to load

ie.

<?

$result = mysql_query("SELECT status FROM table...);

if ($status == "New") {
include('newpage.inc');
} else {
include('secondpage.inc');
}
?>

the status is new but it still loads the second page.

If anyone has a better way please let me know Thanx

Are you assigning $status the value from your db:

$row = mysql_fecth_array($result);
if ($row["status"] == "New") {
include('newpage.inc');
} else {
include('secondpage.inc');
}
