if statement with changed functionality

[olaf]

Hallo,

I used this if statement some weeks before to show/hide a link:

<?php if($row_recSetHintsResult['extraBestand'] !== "") { echo "<a href=\"includes/download.php?file=".$row_recSetHintsResult['extraBestand']."\"> Extra uitleg !</a>"; } ?>

I'm sure that it worked like i want:

show this link if the field is not empty.

Today i get a phone-call from the customer: The link is allways visible.
The only thing what i know is that the ISP did something on the server. I'm for 90% sure that the server changed from fast-cgi to cgi.
Is it possible that is the reason?

hi Olaf, me again!

i think what it is is the "!==" in the if statement.

it needs to be just "!="

i don't know why this was working before, maybe it's an inconsistency between the fast-cgi and the cgi - but it shouldn't work with !==

Almost weekend again...😃

Of course you can use a lot of combinations for validation. The case looks like: I have created a script some weeks before and it works till my ISP (for more than 50 euro each month) changed something.

If this changes are responsible for the wrong working script the ISP have to send me a mail with a warning or something...
