Simple if Statement! Please Help.

[jamjam]

Hi

 

I am developing a page that has this PHP code <?php echo $row_Programme['status']; ?>

This code basically looks in a MySQL database table and echo’s the value of the status field.

 

The value of the Status field will only ever have 5 possible values.

I want to add an ‘if statement’ to the above code.

So for example if the value returned by the code was “Coming Soon”

I can add something like “Programme will be available soon”

 

A second example would be if the value returned by the code was “Not Available”

I can add something like “Sorry programme is not available”

 

This properly really basic PHP.

But am really new to this and will really appreciate the assistance.

 

Thanks in advance.

if($row_Programme['status'] == "Your Value") {
echo "whatever message you want";
} elseif($row_Programme['status'] == "next value") {
echo "next message";
}...

 

etc.

Thanks Matthew

 

It worked perfectly.
