Problem with if statement that should return true

[Oskare100]

Hello,
This is the code snippet:

$breadcrumbtrail = $breadcrumb->trail(' » ');
$breadcrumbexploded = explode(";", $breadcrumbtrail);
echo $breadcrumbexploded[0];
if ($breadcrumbexploded[0] == "&RAQUO") {
echo "true";
} else {
echo "false";
}

That code returns the text "&RAQUOfalse" but it should return "&RAQUOtrue" since $breadcrumbexploded[0] == "&RAQUO". I can't figure out why it can't understand that $breadcrumbexploded[0] actuallt is &RAQUO.

Best Regards
Oskar R

Perhaps you could test with:

$breadcrumbtrail = $breadcrumb->trail(' » ');
$breadcrumbexploded = explode(";", $breadcrumbtrail);
echo htmlspecialchars($breadcrumbexploded[0]);
if ($breadcrumbexploded[0] == "&RAQUO") {
    echo "true";
} else {
    echo "false";
}

Is the output still the same?
