need help about php variable

[wesley1970]

[PHP]<?php
if ($check!==$_SESSION["validate"]){echo 'Validation is not ok';}
else { echo 'OK';}
?>[/PHP]
the above doesn't work

but the below work
[PHP]<?php
if ($check==$_SESSION["validate"]){echo 'ok';}
else { echo 'validadation is not OK';}
?>[/PHP]


How the variables work logically with 'if' in PHP??? strange

The below also works

[PHP]if (strcmp($check,$_SESSION['validation'])==0){echo 'ok';} else {echo 'validation is not OK';}[/PHP]

[ronverdonk]

== means: value is equal: $a == $b Equal TRUE if $a is equal to $b.
=== means: value and data type must be equal: TRUE if $a is equal to $b, and they are of the same type.

See the php manual on comparison operators

Thanks very much, actually, not because of it..

by using strcmp we don't need to trim the string, but i don't know why if i use ==, i have to trim it, by using the below, it works

[PHP]<?php
if (trim($check!)!==trim($_SESSION["validate"])){echo 'Validation is not ok';}
else { echo 'OK';}
?>[/PHP]
