PHP Code:

if ($checkclosed==1|$paidfor==0) {
$winningamounts=getSqlField("SELECT winamount FROM probid_auctions WHERE id='".$_GET['id']."'","winamount");
$newb= $winningamounts + $upbalance;
mysql_query("UPDATE probid_users SET accountbalance='$newb' WHERE id='$winauctions'");
mysql_query("UPDATE probid_auctions SET paidfor='1' WHERE id='".$_GET['id']."'");
} else {
} 


Even though the user is paid which would set $paidfor=1 which it does the script just skips the condition that $paidfor=0 even though the script was executed already and the value was changed to 1. Am I using the If statement wrong or something?

|| not |

I got it to work... nvm.. thanks anyway and I'll try using || instead of | to see if that works too

PHP Code:

if ($checkclosed==1) {
    if ($paidfor==0){
$winningamounts=getSqlField("SELECT winamount FROM probid_auctions WHERE id='".$_GET['id']."'","winamount");
$newb= $winningamounts + $upbalance;
mysql_query("UPDATE probid_users SET accountbalance='$newb' WHERE id='$winauctions'");
mysql_query("UPDATE probid_auctions SET paidfor='1' WHERE id='".$_GET['id']."'");
                    }
                        } else { 


that's what I was supposed to do

If you 'solved' it via an if inside another if, you want '&&' not '||'.
