if condition problem!! pls help

[Forri]

Hi all

I have the following condition:

if ($AVE_LEAVE_DAY <= $TOTAL_REMAIN_HRS) 
{
  //do something
}

Where $AVE_LEAVE_DAY = 8 and $TOTAL_REMAIN_HRS = 8;

Why is it that the IF condition is not triggered?

Thanks
nick

I can't see a reason why it wouldn't be triggered! Your syntax is correct.

I can only assume that somewhere the variable is changing where you don't expect it.

Just to be sure, right above your if statement, echo out values of the two variables.


Cheers!

yes thats what i did and thats where i verified that they were both the same values!

i don;t know but could it be that one can store float and the other integer! and this puzzles the condition?? shouldn't be !!

Well thanks

Just for testing that print out the result of gettype() for the both variables and you'll see.

hmm..i'll try it next monday! thanks!

Ok i tried the above and the results are:

$AVE_LEAVE_DAY = integer
$TOTAL_REMAIN_HRS = double

Could this pose a problem for the above query!?

Tahnks again
