Hi,

Small problem here :P

I am using a string in the address of a page. eg page.php?game=106

I am using an if statement to make sure the game ID entered is valid but i am getting a rather odd error!

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '!' in /home/college/public_html/web/test.php on line 7

here is my code

PHP Code:

$gamenumber = "033"; //gamenumber is the highest value valid game

if($game !> '000' and $game !< $gamenumber){
$name="Not A Valid Game ID";
$source="error.swf";
$height="300";
$width="300"; 
} 


I dont know if i need the '$game !> '000' ' part but its there anyway.
Please help me with a valid if statement! :P

is that all of the php code?

there is no "not greater" or "not lesser" operator. make it
if($game <= '000' and $game >= $gamenumber)

edit: here is a rundown of the error
unexpected '!' doesnt know what the '!' is there for
in /home/college/public_html/web/test.php the file
on line 7 what line

Move the ! to infront of the $game variable and think of it like this...

if not $game is greater than 000 and not $game is less than $gamenumber (I like to think of things as a translation to english to help me remember.)

Also, did you notice that your title is not very descriptive at all?

yeah, thanks for the help guys.

Yes i did notice it was very undescriptive but didnt give me the option to change the title asfter it was posted :P

in this case it is a lie, a undiscriptive title got us over quick
