[RESOLVED] If/Else Conditional Statment

[Haddman]

I just started php yesterday and found a site with a good tutorial but there's a problem, the "If/Else" statment doesn't seem to work, don't know if it's wrong in the tutorial or what.

I put this in my file:

$number_three = 3;

if ( $number_three == 3 ) {
	echo "The if statement evaluated to true";
} else {
	echo "The if statement evaluated to false";
}

And this comes out in the server:

$number_three = 3; if ( $number_three == 3 ) { echo "The if statement evaluated to true"; } else { echo "The if statement evaluated to false"; }

You need the PHP start/end tags:

<?php
$number_three = 3;

if ( $number_three == 3 ) {
	echo "The if statement evaluated to true";
} else {
	echo "The if statement evaluated to false";
}
?>

Hmm, interesting.

I put it like this:

<?php?>

$number_three = 3;

if ( $number_three == 3 ) {
	echo "The if statement evaluated to true";
} else {
	echo "The if statement evaluated to false";
}


<??>

PS. It worked now, thanks.
