[RESOLVED] why isn't this working?

Currently I am looking to check usernames against to admin variables like this...

global $my;
$thename = $my->username;
if ($thename == $id1) {
    include ('modules/mod_flowplay/edit/edit1.html');
} elseif ($thename == $id2) {
    include ('modules/mod_flowplay/edit/edit1.html');
} else {
    echo ('');
}

It, for some reason stops at the 1st if statement and either works or doesn't...
If I have 2 user names one each in id1 and id2 it's not checking the id2..

I think I'm missing something easy here... LOL

Thanks for the help in advance! :quiet:

could it be a parse error on:

echo ('');

perhaps comment that line out or fix it:

echo '';

There's no parse error in that code - echo is a special language construct, so it can be used with or without parenthesis.

@: The control structure itself looks fine, so the problem must have something to do with the values. Try doing a [man]var_dump/man on both $thename and $id2 to verify that they are both identical. If you don't discover the error, paste the output of the two var_dump()'s for us to see.

I appreciate the help.. I added another elseif and cut the else echo right out and all is working fine now!!! Thanks!! 🙂
