[PHP] Re: Object oriented if statements

[Patterson Liddle]

I wonder if someone would be kind enough to explain why, 

if $record->Subject2 sometimes contains the word posters



this 

echo $record->Subject2;

accurately prints the word or words in the field Subject2 from the found record

but this 


 if ($record->Subject2 == "posters")
{
  echo ("PrintFormat1");
 }
 else
{
   echo ("PrintFormat2");
 }  

always returns PrintFormat2

(I'm trying to get the if statement to print format 1 when the field contains posters, 
and format 2 if it's got anything else in it. It's never empty.)



Apologies if you've seen this all before

Problem solved, thanks to Lasse.

(There was white space in the field, and trim sorted it out)

Thanks very much for your help.
