php if

Code trial 1:
------------------
$img_path = 'ticktockInt/images/jpg/exclaim.jpg';

<tr>

<td colspan="12" align="center" class="body_bold_black"><a name="remimage" id="remimage"></a>
<?php if ($row_invoicesReminders['Reminder'] == "Remind") {
echo "<li><img src='$img_path;'/><li>"; } ?>

</tr>
<tr>

Code trial 2:
------------------

$img_path = '<img src="ticktockInt/images/jpg/exclaim.jpg" width="102" height="102" />';

<td>

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

I do not get any errors

Marco Gasi

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...

Marco Gasi

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)); ?>

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

Marco Gasi

Did you try to use trim as I suggested above?

Sorted:
I edited my recordset - it was not referencing all the fields correctly (specifically thyhe "Reminders" field

Marco Gasi

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...

Marco:
The solution was to edit the recordset and get rid of the ";"
