This error seems impossible...

When this block of code is executed "match" is output but the second sql insert is also executed. I cant figure out why and it seems impossible to me.

if ($_SESSION["valid_user"] == $global_item['author']) {
  echo "match";
}
else {
  if ($_SESSION["valid_user"])
    $insert_views = mysql_query("INSERT INTO {$section}_views VALUES ('','$global_item_id',now(),'$user_firstname $user_lastname')");
  else
    $insert_views = mysql_query("INSERT INTO {$section}_views VALUES ('','$global_item_id',now(),'Unknown')");	
}

i would do this:

if ($_SESSION["valid_user"] == $global_item['author']) 
{
  echo "match";
}
elseif ($_SESSION["valid_user"]!= $global_item['author']) 
{  

    $insert_views = mysql_query("INSERT INTO {$section}_views VALUES ('','$global_item_id',now(),'$user_firstname $user_lastname')");
}
else
{
    $insert_views = mysql_query("INSERT INTO {$section}_views VALUES ('','$global_item_id',now(),'Unknown')");    

}

b/c if you have a valid user session it will always do that other code

Just found the cause of the problem:

For some reason this google ad code is making the sql insert happen.

<div style="margin-bottom:10px;">
 <script type="text/javascript"><!--
 google_ad_client = "pub-6469059573980063";
 /* Google */
 google_ad_slot = "6176284838";
 google_ad_width = 250;
 google_ad_height = 250;
