Any help for this newbie would be appreciated

<php

if (($housetotal > $auctionDetails['a1'])&&($housetotal < $auctionDetails['a4']) && ($auctionDetails['a1'] !=0))
{
$sold=$housetotal-$auctionDetails['a1'];
echo $sold;
echo "Houses Sold";
}
else echo "No houses have been sold yet";

?>

cant figure out why "No houses have been sold yet" is echoed when
$housetotal = 5
$auctionDetails['a4']=20
and $auctionDetails['a1'] = 2

check all of my values... maybe some wrong with my syntax... any help would be appreciated.

In your example you combine full type of IF-operator with simple type of else, so it can raise such error with "echo" operator. Try to use full form of if-else operator.

<?php
if ( ($housetotal > $auctionDetails['a1'])&&($housetotal < $auctionDetails['a4']) && ($auctionDetails['a1'] !=0)) 
{ 
$sold=$housetotal-$auctionDetails['a1'];
echo $sold;
echo "Houses Sold"; 
}
else{
   echo "No houses have been sold yet";
}
?>

In other cases only right idea I have it is string type of $auctionDetails['a1']...
