Compare two strings

vikheen

Hi,

I have retrieved a data and assigned it to a variable "xsituation". Now i want to compare it with another variable "new" so that it outputs an option button either true or false.

Below is my code. Could you please correct it?

<?$new = "direct on beach" ;?>
<? if (strcmp($new,$xsituation)) {?>
<td width="160" bgcolor="#F5ECDE"><font size="1"><input type="radio" value="DirectOnBeach" checked name="R1">
Direct on beach</font></td>
<?} else {?>
<td width="160" bgcolor="#F5ECDE"><font size="1"><input type="radio" value="DirectOnBeach" name="R1">
Direct on beach</font></td>
<?}?>

Regards,

What are you trying to compare? If they are the same? Or if they are different? Or if one is greater or less than the other?

For the first, use ===
For the second, use !==
For the third, use strcmp.

Hi,

I tried using "===" but it doesn,t work. Please have a look at codes which i posted in the original one and could you please place the code for me in the given codes?

Kind regards,
