$varA was true.
$varA was false.
I heavily dislike this coding style, however, and personally would use
something like this:
$varA was ');
if ($varA == true) {
print ('true');
} else {
print ('false');
}
print ('.'."\n");

Re: [PHP] If/else conditional statement ... in an include file ...
I apologize for not including all of the information. I did this as an
include file, which explains why it isn't working:
< !--- beginning of myinclude.php >
< ! --- end of myinclude.php --- >
< ! beginning of testfile.php --- >
Html here that should display only if $varA == True
< ?
} // generic parser error generated here
Else {
?>
HTML that only displays if $varA != True
< ! - End of testfile.php >
In ASP this works, in PHP it doesn't ... any ideas?

Took a better look at your code -- you've capitalized "true" -- that may be it. Bogdan -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [PHP] If/else conditional statement ...
What's the error, just a parse error on line xx? O tend to do a lot of echo 'ing, so this suggestion may not be much help. How about adding a semicolon?

Re: [PHP] If/else conditional statement ...
Make sure you close the accolade afterwords in PHP -- other than that, yes, it works just fine!

[PHP] If/else conditional statement ...
Hello: In ASP I can write a Conditional statement like this: <% If $varA == True Then %> Straight HTML in here that only displays if $varA == True <% Else %> Straight HTML in here that only displays if $varA != True <% End if %> Translating this to PHP doesn't work: // error is generated here ... Is there some way to do it this way in PHP? I'd rather not create a huge variable and then echo that. Thanks in advance.
