No, I get it. I just thought that there might have been some built in function like if(neg_num($quant - $amount)) or something like that. I know how to do it, but I thought that there might have been an alternate method. Just because I asked a simple question doesn't mean I'm stupid, I'm just curious if there is a simpler way to do an already simple task. On 7/16/06, Stut <stuttle@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:

Not sure which way around you want it, but I think this is what you are after... if (($quant - $amount) < 0) { echo "You don't have that many!"; } I don't mean any offense, but the possibility that someone who couldn't figure that out is writing PHP code scares me. You might want to think about Googling for an absolute beginners guide to programming before continuing. - -Stut -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEusYz2WdB7L+YMm4RAqGPAJ0QqkgfApO6h0GR9lXa47WyAhSsugCfaymW Ba+bqZRbrcv6CuZ6g7FJJjw= =ktnc -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
