Php is case-sensitive: are you sure the value should be 'Remind' and not 'remind'? And the same quetion can be done about the column name...

Can you show the whole code: query and loop?

<?php do { ?>
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top" class="totals"><?php echo $row_invoicesReminders['ID']; ?></td>
<td align="left" valign="top" class="totals"><?php echo $row_invoicesReminders['Name']; ?></td>
<td align="left" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap" class="totals"><?php echo $row_invoicesReminders['Date']; ?></td><td>

<?php if ($row_invoicesReminders['Reminder'] == "Remind") {
echo $img_path; } ?></td>
</tr>
<?php } while ($row_invoicesReminders = mysql_fetch_assoc($invoicesReminders)); ?>

This is the best money I have ever spent. I cannot not tell you how many times these folks have saved my bacon. I learn so much from the contributors.

Try this

if (trim($row_invoicesReminders['Reminder']) == "Remind")

Open in new window

Maybe there is some hidden space in your database column...

Dave:
If I just put this into the page:
echo "<img src='$img_path'/>"; } ?>

I get the inage
So it vlooks as if there is a problem with the IF statement

What is the solution? Editing the recordset (and how?) or deleting a semicolon? I'm missing something here...

Going forward, a useful concept in PHP programming is the use of HEREDOC notation to make templates and HTML fragments that are later used in creating a complete web page. Once you know how this works, it will revolutionize your programming and design practices. Just a thought...
