How come this will echo No or nothing?

here is the portion of the script: if($row['plevel'] == '0'){ echo 'No'; } else { echo 'Yes'; } here is my table structure dump: # # Table structure for table docs # CREATE TABLE docs ( id int(11) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment, name varchar(200) NOT NULL default '', note varchar(200) NOT NULL default '', author varchar(200) NOT NULL default '', path varchar(200) NOT NULL default '', plevel tinyint(3) NOT NULL default '0', type char(3) NOT NULL default '', cat tinyint(3) NOT NULL default '0', file_size int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', date int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', PRIMARY KEY (id) ) TYPE=MyISAM; the row plevel is either 0 or 1. why won't this script echo Yes? The reason that the plevel is set in numbers is because I may add higher ones later. -- JJ Harrison webmaster@tececo.com www.tececo.com
