$r = mysql_fetch_array($sql);
$ld = $r['lend_leave'];

echo 'alert (" have 2 reservation more!")';
echo '</script>';
}
else if ($ld = 3){
echo '<script language = "JavaScript">';
echo 'alert (" have 3 reservation more!")';
echo '</script>';
}
else if ($ld = 4){
echo '<script language = "JavaScript">';
echo 'alert (" have 4 reservation more!")';
echo '</script>';
}

{
echo '<script language = "JavaScript">';
echo 'alert (" u can make 5 reservation!")';
echo '</script>';
}
header("Location:lend_book.php");
exit;
?>

use if ($Id == 1), etc.

better yet, use switch()

thanks..i'm trying this..and it's working fine

switch ($ld) {
case 0:
echo '<script language = "JavaScript">';
echo 'alert (" have 0 reservation more!")';
echo '</script>';
break;
case 1:
echo '<script language = "JavaScript">';
echo 'alert (" have 1 reservation more!")';
echo '</script>';
break;
case 2:
echo '<script language = "JavaScript">';
echo 'alert (" have 2 reservation more!")';
echo '</script>';
break;
case 3:
echo '<script language = "JavaScript">';
echo 'alert (" have 3 reservation more!")';
echo '</script>';
break;
case 4:
echo '<script language = "JavaScript">';
echo 'alert (" have 4 reservation more!")';
echo '</script>';
break;
case 5:
echo '<script language = "JavaScript">';
echo 'alert (" have 5 reservation more!")';
echo '</script>';
break;

}

?>

but what should i do if i want case 1 to go to lend_book.php meanwhile case 1,2,3,4 and 5 go to select_book.php?

In this case, it might be better to check that $ld is an int, or cast it to an int, and then simply print the message, checking that $ld is in the range [0,5] if necessary. An example would be:

echo '<script type="text/javascript">' . "\n";
if ($ld >= 0 && $ld <= 5) {
	echo 'alert (" have ' . $ld . ' reservation more!")';
} else {
	echo 'alert("Error: wrong reservation quantity!")';
}
echo '</script>';

if i want case 1 to go to lend_book.php meanwhile case 1,2,3,4 and 5 go to select_book.php?

How do you want to direct the user to the other pages? Through a link, or perhaps HTTP redirection?
