MYSTERY ERROR

Anon

Hey,
I have, what is to me a really weird error in my scripts.
All of a sudden, my 'IF' statements don't work!
For example, if I have a script with the line of code:
if ($add == '1') {
echo("whatever, code goes here");
}
and then I enter the URL:
scriptname.php?add=1
IT DOESN't WORK!
It has happened on all my scripts.
I did modify the php.ini file, to change something to do with sessions. However, I didn't change anything else.
Can anyone PLEASE help me?!
I really don't get what is wrong.

Cheers.

try

if ($add == 1)

if ($add == "1")

If you really make a string comparison
then try to add this line before if:
$add=strval($add);

Well, hope this works.

Luck,

Just a guess,
but, try
$add = trim($add);
if ($add == "1")

I have had that sort of thing happen.

If you've been fiddling in php.ini, make sure you didn't shut of register_globals. That would prevent PHP registering $add as a variable and you'd have to write $HTTP_GET_VARS["add"] to access it

Cheers guys.

It was the register_Globals..
It was set to off.
I didn't change it or anything, but i pasted the php.ini into windows, like someone said, and there are two versions..
So when i edited what I wanted to, the register_globals was set to off.
Thanks again
