does anyone know why my ode isnt evaluationg to true, im still struggling with php's simple things.
$message = "ask kmobilezw kasi";
$Response = '';
$keyword =strtoupper(substr($message,13));
echo $keyword;
if ($keyword == 'KASI')
{
$Response = "Thanks for Entering the Competition The draw will be on 08 May 2009 Your RefNo is '$RefNo' T and C apply.";
}
elseif ($keyword == 'TEBS')
{
$Response = "Thanks for Entering the Competition The draw will be on 31 May 2009 Your RefNo is '$RefNo' T and C apply.";
}
echo $Response;
echo $keyword;

Hi

When in doubt, add some [tt]echo[/tt]s :

$message = "ask kmobilezw kasi";
$keyword =strtoupper(substr($message,13));
[red]echo "~~$keyword~~";[/red]

~~[highlight pink] [/highlight]KASI~~

thanks excactly what i have done, its echoing KASI but it doesnt evaluate to true.
if you look at my code i have 3 echoes, all of which are displaying KASI

Hi

Well, not for your sample $message :

$message = "ask kmobilezw[COLOR=white red] kasi[/color]";
[gray]//          0123456789012[/gray][COLOR=silver red]34567[/color]
[gray]//                    [/gray][COLOR=white red]1[/color]

The [tt]substr()[/tt] starting on position 13 returns 5 characters.
