Re: detecting negative numbers

They are both positive numbers. I want to see if, when subtract, do they equal a negative number? On 7/16/06, Peter Beckman <beckman@purplecow.com> wrote:

Is there any way of checking if the result is negative rather than doing what I have above? I'm not sure which "result" you are refering to, but this echo's if:

     $quant is greater than $amount
     $amount is less than 0
     $quant is less than 0

if ($quant > $amount or $amount < 0 or $quant < 0) {

     echo "You don't have that many!";
