Hi Karl, Isnt it the same ? I am doing the check if ($result['pk'] == 1), and you are doing if ($result['pk'] !== null). I wanted to make sure I dont get false positives, what if $result['pk'] is set to zero, in your case it will be a match but thats probably not what we want, cuz the pk field is not set to 1..
