if statement problems

[sketchgal]

I'm trying to get an if statement to work in the following way.
I need the script to realise if value is between say 1 and 2 and return a checked radio button.
I can get the radio button to be check if the value equals 1 using the code below

<?php if($average_communication_rating == '1'){ echo 'checked="checked"';} ?>

I can't get it to work if the value is between 1 and 2, I was trying to use the following but I keep getting these errors

<?php if($average_communication_rating => '1' AND < '2'){ echo 'checked="checked"';} ?>


I think this is something that should be ffairly easy to sort out but I can't seem to fix it at all.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

the syntax is >=

<?php if($average_communication_rating >= '1' AND $average_communication_rating <= '2'){ echo 'checked="checked"';} ?>

(Note: the checkbox will be checked if the value is 2.)

the logic operators always have the > or < first >=, <=

Great thanks for sorting this out for me!
