[RESOLVED] Simple question

How can i compare values?

i need to check the brandname, and replace it with another string (a image path). Is this code below correct? becouse it aint working here :(

and i am very new to php ;)

VB Code:

if ($brand == "renault") {
    $DealPic = "images/renault.gif";
 }

What seems to be the problem? Do you get an error? Or are you simply not getting the results you expect?

Perhaps you've got a capitalization in $brand and you didn't carry the same capitalization through into the test string. Convert them both to lowercase and see if it works

PHP Code:

---

if(strtolower($band) == "renault") {
    $DealPic = "images/renault.gif";
}

If you truly want to REPLACE IT with another string, then your code would be:

Code:

---

if ($brand == "renault") {
    $brand = "images/renault.gif";
}

---

That would be replacing it (the $brand) with something else. In your example, you're just creating another variable based on what $brand is.

Besides, if your code and images keep following that logic, it would be MUCH faster to write
$DealPic = "images/$brand.gif";

Thanks guys, i already got it working, i made a spelling error and thats why it didn't work :D
