you != you!

Lol..hey you guys, don't take it personally! the client didn't drop me because I asked a question in this forum, but because the error was actually really obvious, and according to him, if i couldn't figure it out on my own i = inexperienced!

Please post here and tell me what lesson do YOU learn from this? (No, I won't give out $100 PM to the guy who gives the best answer this time! )

um... was wondering.. how did your client know this was you??

[digitman]

Some thing alike may happen, if getting a variable through GET ot POST and forget to html_entity_decode them

But trim() also works some times

[lo0ol]

Use trim

rofl. Rep++.

[ccburns]

What is really funny about this thread is that after all the suggestions to use trim() in my particular situation html_entity_decode() was the answer. Don't know the reason why but it works for me .

I'm glad, it works for you

I'm facing a really weird problem. I have a script which compares some variables and decides what to do based on the comparison. Now, the problem is really weird.. the variables have the same value, but when I do a if ($var==$var) it returns false. Here's the code:

if ($receiver==$ownerId) //i've also tried:if ($receiver===$ownerId)
{
logIt("$reciever IS equal to $ownerId");
} else {
 logIt("$ownerId is not equal to $receiver");
} 

Here's the output the above code gives:


I'm facing this problem at a number of places in my script, but it usually occurs only with strings. How can I make it do the correct comparison?!

Use trim()

Yep. That's amazing speed eh?

[demosfen]

I'd post sooner if I saw this thread sooner. It may be still useful to someone with the same problem even if the original poster already passed away

[r937]

...even if the original poster already passed away

his life on earth got trimmed

[ruddhim]

couldnt resist but just to say .. This last post by r937 has made it the funniest post of all times.... I m a new Site Point Enthu ... N believe I m never forgetting TRIM() now... As for digitman .... u learnt a lesson n taught us one too

[spikeZ]

absolutely, a lesson for us all always trim() your email out of the posts or use tis function....

function replaceCustomer {
  if($numpty == 'Client') {
   str_replace($customer, $senseOfHumour, $numpty);
return $numpty;
} 

Mike

[nouman]

following the function
always remember to echo!

  echo "checking result of trim()"; 

and yea, comment that once in production environment!
