[RESOLVED] if else problem

[trendMM]

hi,

i'm having a problem getting an if else statement to work. this is for a cms script and is in the part of the script where you can delete posts. what i have here is so it checks if theres an image in the db to delete. if so, then unlink, if null then do nothing. it doesnt seem to want to unlink the file though and i have no idea why. if someone could please take a look and lend a hand that'd be great! thanks in advance!

	if ($img == NULL) 
	{ 


		} else {

	unlink("/home/evanbart/www/nbl/cms/uploads/breaking_news/photos/" . $delfile);
}

The problem isn't here...you probably did something before this, something that never gave $img a value perhaps?

Also, don't use empty if statements, it's a bad habit. Use this instead:

if ($img != null)
{
unlink("/home/evanbart/www/nbl/cms/uploads/breaking_news/photos/" . $delfile);
}

thanks a lot! i'll be sure to use this code instead. you were right, i didn't even give $img a value so that's why it wasn't working. i feel like an idiot now! thanks a lot for your help!
