if cookie equals a value?

[johnskywalker99]

Hello
how do you call a value from a cookie and check it against a value and if if equlas it do THIS and if not do THAT?..I think it should be something like this:
<?php
if ($ssTemplate["tmp1"]) // I'm guessing this means if the cookie equals this do this

{ echo"THIS";}
else {echo"THAT";} ?>

All I can achieve is if the cookie has any value at all the 'THIS' statement is returned, when I want it to return 'THIS' only when the value of ssTemplate(cookie) is 'tmp1', can anyone help?

Cheers John

ps. I haven't got much hair left on this one!

i'm probably misinterpreting your question, but
assuming your $ssTemplate["tmp1"] already holds the cookie value, you can simply use it like any other variable (sth like $ssTemplate["tmp1"] == "whatever")
If you're not certain if it has any value, check first using isset($ssTemplate[..])

Hello
Got it myself just was missing '($ssTemplate == "tree")' was originally using only one '='. SYNTAX will be the death of me!
