Re: Broken IF behavior? (Changing the branch changes the evaluation)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



It's exactly what I would expect... The content of the row... But in
any case, what does changing the content of the { } branch have to do
with how the IF() itself is evaluated?

array(4) {
  [0]=>
  string(8) "CustName"
  ["config"]=>
  string(8) "CustName"
  [1]=>
  string(11) "Sample Cust"
  ["value"]=>
  string(11) "Sample Cust"
}
