Re: why doesnt this work???

What I think you'd note, actually, is that you ALWAYS get the matching echo, and never the non-matching, because you're using an assignment operator instead of comparison. It should read if ($line[1]==' instead of ($line[1]='. --Matt Chris wrote:

this script receives vars "b" and "p" from a form. If "b" and "p" matches the echo on IF, then it works just fine. The problem is that if the vars dont match the ELSE ECHO does not apear... why not? <? $bruker = $HTTP_POST_VARS["b"]; $passord = $HTTP_POST_VARS["p"]; $hostname = "********"; $username = "********"; $password = "********"; $dbname = "********"; MSSQL_CONNECT($hostname,$username,$password); mssql_select_db($dbname); $query = "select * from medlemmer where bruker = '$bruker' and passord = '$passord'"; $result = mssql_query( $query ); for ($i = 0; $i < mssql_num_rows( $result ); ++$i)

     {

      $line = mssql_fetch_row($result);
      if( $line[1]='$bruker' and $line[2]='$passord')  echo "hei $bruker.";
         else echo "FEIL";
     }
