Re: php conditional formatting question

I'm new to PHP but I had a similar problem. I was comparing information in a flat text file with a variable in my php code. They never matched according to the php. I echo'd both values to the screen and they matched. So then I echo'd them to the screen with three 'a' in front and three 'a' in back of the values. Much to my suspicion there was a blank space behind the value from the text file. So, I used rtrim to get rid of the blank space. Looks something like this: $contents[1] = rtrim($contents[1]); if ($idname = = $contents[0]) { echo "Works Thus Far!"; exit; } Hope this is helpful! ! !
