Thanks in advance for any help

When things like this fail, a good first step is to echo the values
involved.

For instance, right now, what do you have in $_REQUEST["frmIsEarlyBird "]
and $rowWork["wEarlyBird "]? Are you getting what you think you should
be getting from date("Y-m-d")? Also - is $_REQUEST["frmIsEarlyBird "]
equal to "1" or 1? They are two different values.

Also, $_REQUEST is generally not a good thing to use, If it's coming
from a POSTed forum, use $_POST. If it's in the URL, use $_GET.

Re: Newbie Problem using if statement with &&

Yeah I have tested the vslues and they are valid. As i said in the
original post:

Testing:

$_REQUEST["frmIsEarlyBird "] is a valid form request and returns a
string of 1 or 0 depending on what im sending.

$rowWork["wEarlyBird "] Has a valid date in it and should validate as
true

If i put these if statements on the page they both work fine.
(validate as true)

if ($_REQUEST["frmIsEarlyBird "] == "1") {
echo " TRUE ";
} else {
echo " False ";
}

if (date("Y-m-d") < $rowWork["wEarlyBird "]) {
echo " TRUE ";
} else {
echo " False ";
}

Well, obviously something is not as you describe, because '&&' has a
lower priority than either '==' or '<', which is why I asked you to
verify this. It's either the data or the statement you supplied doesn't
match what you have in your code. I'm just trying to eliminate
possibilities.

P.S. Please don't top post. Thanks.

Sorry bout top posting im new to this group thing as well as php.
Thanks for trying to help me. the code below is an exact paste from
the page. I have the first two if statements there to test the
variables. When the code runs I see TRUE TRUE and thats it the die
never runs. It is my understanding that I am trying to say in my
statement that if $_REQUEST["frmIsEarlyBird "] == "1" is true AND
date("Y-m-d") < $rowWork["wEarlyBird "] is true run the die. I dont
understand why the first two if statetments would each display true
but the third not run.

if ($_REQUEST["frmIsEarlyBird "] == "1") {
echo " TRUE ";
} else {
echo " False ";
}

if (date("Y-m-d") < $rowWork["wEarlyBird "]) {
echo " TRUE ";
} else {
echo " False ";
}

if ($_REQUEST["frmIsEarlyBird "] == "1" && date("Y-m-d") <
$rowWork["wEarlyBird "]) {
die("<h1>The earlybird special has ended.</h1>");
}

If that's the actual code, with nothing in between that can alter either
of the variables, I'm thoroughly puzzled. 100% sure you're not misspelling
one of the variable names? And have you enabled display_errors and set
error_reporting to E_ALL | E_STRICT ?

What happens if you replace your last statement with this one?

First a hint. Only use double quotes, if you want to perform variable
substitution within a string. Otherwise, try to use single quotes.

Now, when I get a problem like this, I tend to echo out all the values
and all the intermediate results. So please replace your code with
this and then post the output here:

echo 'frmIsEarlyBird ='.$_REQUEST['frmIsEarlyBird].'= ';
echo 'date='.date('Y-m-d').'= ';
echo 'wEarlyBird='.$ rowWork['wEarlyBird'].'= ';
echo '($_REQUEST["frmIsEarlyBird "] == \'1\')='.
($_REQUEST['frmIsEarlyBird '] == '1').'= ';
echo '(date(\'Y-m-d\') < $rowWork[\'wEarlyBird\'])='.(date(\'Y-m-d\')
< $rowWork[\'wEarlyBird\']).'=';
echo '&&='.($_REQUES T['frmIsEarlyBird '] == '1' && date(\'Y-m-d\') <
$rowWork[\'wEarlyBird\']).'=';

if ($_REQUEST['frmIsEarlyBird '] == '1' && date('Y-m-d') <
$rowWork['wEarlyBird']) {
die('<h1>The earlybird special has ended.</h1>');

}

thing, not after it.
