[RESOLVED] If statement not working correctly.

[dmacman1962]

Hi all,

I have a field with the names of image in it and I am tying skip some code once my query reaches the last image (black_spacer.jpg) and I am not getting it to work. Here is my code to check that field from the query...

if ($right_name['Name'] == 'black_spacer.jpg') {

skip the rest....

What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks,
Don

what does the rest of the loop code look like?

Hi Devinemke (sorry to hear about your tv),

Here is the code for that loop...

<table width="120" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<?PHP if ($right_name['Name'] == 'black_spacer.jpg') {
echo '<td><img src="../Images/Transparent_Vert_Spacer.gif"></td>';
} else { ?>
<td colspan="3"><img src="../Images/Top2.jpg" width="267" height="51" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="39"><img src="../Images/Left2.jpg" width="50" height="119" /></td>
 <?PHP echo '<td width="116"><img src="../Images/' . $right_item['Name'] . '" width="158" height="119" /></td>'; ?>
<td width="44"><img src="../Images/Right2.jpg" width="59" height="119" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="3"><img src="../Images/Bottom2.jpg" width="267" height="54" /></td>
<?PHP } ?>
</tr>
</table>

What I am doing is this is in another loop, and when that loops gets the last picture (which in this case, I put a spacer image [I originall tried to do a test on an enum field for a "1", since I used a "1" for active, but that did not work]).

I orginally got my code from weedpacket, and I used a transparent gif to display when the left and right columns had different number of items (ie; the left column has 5 images and the right has 4 [9 total). I built a table with a shadow effect around these dynamic images and I am trying to not have a empty table in the right column when there are an odd number of total images).

Make sense?

Thanks,
Don

Your missing a close } on your else

[dmacman1962]

No, I just had it farther down in my code.

I edited and inserted it to elimimate that concern.

Place an echo of $right_name['Name'] right before your if, that way you actually see the name of every image name coming in, then you can verify 100% that is the correct name of the file it has found, maybe that is why it is failing the If, the filename is wrong (capitilzation makes a difference)...maybe you have it called Black_Spacer.jpg??

[dmacman1962]

I found it...

I had this...

if ($right_name['Name'] == 'black_spacer.jpg') { //etc

and it should have been $right_item not $right_name.

Thanks all!
